It makes the new homes at Wembley Park among the fastest domestically connected area in the UK. This has been achieved by running fibre cabling into every single apartment that it builds.  Other providers install fibre to the basement and then run copper cables into apartments.  Not so for **Quintain** who have gone one step further and pre-installed fibre from the Wembley Park based ISP directly into each of their homes – meaning that residents have access to this amazingly [fast](https://www.financedigest.com/at-the-home-of-zara-fast-and-slow-fashion-collide.html "At the home of Zara, fast and slow fashion collide") speed from the moment they step inside their new home. Wembley Park resident Carrie Webster said: “Moving into a flat with Velocity1 [broadband](https://www.financedigest.com/choosing-best-business-broadband-package-needs.html) already wired in was great. This kind of speed is brilliant as well. I can stream films and surf the net at the same time and never worry about the connection dropping out.” A recent uSwitch survey named the fastest UK street for broadband as Sandy Lane in Cannock, Staffordshire at 72Mbps and the slowest on Williamson Road in Romney Marsh, Kent at 0.54Mbps.
