New research conducted by Broadband Genie compiled over 145,000 speed tests from users across the UK to find Britain's slowest streets. By contrast, the street with the UK's fastest broadband, Inglewood Avenue in Derby, enjoys download speeds that are 1,449 times faster. Following closely behind Heol–Y–Fedw, the second slowest street is Turnberry Crescent, Aberdeen, Scotland, where download speeds sit at a measly 1.06 gigabytes per second. Broadband Genie's data shows that all ten of the slowest streets in the UK can access a 'Fibre to the Cabinet' broadband connection, which should provide speeds of 35 megabytes per second.

Page (worth $287 billion) and Brin ($267 billion) are the world’s second- and third-richest people.

The 32-year-old Donegal athlete ran a patient race, sitting off the pace in the opening half and striking the front entering the last turn – his time equalling the meeting record and smashing the national record of 1:45.15 that he’d run at the Millrose Games in New York last year.

How a crude gesture was seized on by the outrage machineIt was the early days of October. I was discussing Jim Gavin’s unsuitability for the superficiality and viciousness of the presidential campaign with my co-host Dion Fanning on our podcast, Free State. I made a gesture as we were talking about the dumbness of the stock questions Jim Gavin was being asked on the campaign trail. I fully accept that the gesture was crude. The thought never struck me it would end up on the RTÉ news just after a report about Russian missile attacks on Ukraine.
