IMO the report from 2017 is the latest that was reporting on ADSL speed and didn't artificially inflate numbers like crazy.

If you look at this 2019 report, they first say that only 1% has less than 10 Mbits on page 20, then 13% have less than 10 Mbits on page 22.

Problem, metrics are like are so out of touch with reality, they're just made up. People actually use ADSL (copper) and it can't do more than 10 Mbps if you're a mile away from the internet center, that's the case for way more than 13% of the population. You could think that people have switched to fiber but they have not, I live in central London and it's hit and miss if you can get fiber at all in an apartment block.
