Internet speed guarantees must be realistic, says Ofcom
It always puzzled me that internet companies can simply say that the speed is "up to" a certain number. Especially since, they will often sell various tiers of speed, proving that they ARE capable of delivering a faster speed.Imagine paying for 50mb/s internet and only getting 23mb/s. So you upgrade to the 75mb/s plan and now your real speed is 46mb/s. Why couldn't you get that higher speed for the original plan? It seems bizarre that this setup would be legal anywhere in any country.If you can simply provide "up to" on something, then I wanna sell you a box for ten bucks that contains up to a million dollars!Edit: Obviously speed depends on a million factors, but I don't know if I've ever experienced even half the speed I was paying for, even when I control both end points.
