Berkshire has been named one of the UK’s most connected counties.
The region ranked in the top 10 per cent nationwide in research conducted by ultrafast broadband provider Trooli.
The study examined factors such as public transport, airports, broadband speeds, and population to assess overall connectivity.
Berkshire stood out for its digital infrastructure, with more than 91 per cent of homes having access to gigabit broadband.
It also scored highly for its proximity to London and its rail network, which includes 37 stations.
Andy Conibere, CEO of Trooli, said: "We’re on a mission to make the UK more digitally inclusive by connecting families and businesses with access to ultrafast internet.
"Of course, this is just part of the puzzle, and connectivity is more than just technology.
"It’s about making people’s lives easier – whether that’s hopping on a train to London, jetting off with friends to Spain, or catching up with relatives on the other side of the world via video call."
The West Midlands topped the list thanks to its population of 2.9 million, multiple international airports, and more than 95 per cent gigabit broadband coverage.
Essex came second, while Hampshire placed third in the rankings.
