If you see any ISP advertising up to 20 it's odds on they will be in trouble with the ASA!

I think sky advertise there product up to 20Mb, and i sync at 17Mb, so is that just what they advertise up to, can you actually sync higher or is it limited to 16Mb?.

Theoretically, if you are practically next door to the exchange you could sync at 24mbps.

In accordance with the new rules that Jim linked Plusnet can only advertise an up to speed that at least 10% of their users achieve.

If you put your attenuation in to http://www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/max_speed_calc.php it will give you an estimate of what you might get.

Right, so plusnet don't limit the sync to 16Mb then?.

Correct

Sky advertise using a 14 Mbps figure, this is the new figure they started using last week.

Some comparison engines have not updated yet, and many providers have not either. Am expecting a lot of complaints to ASA, particularly from those following the rules against those that have not bothered yet.

This has to be one of the daftest rulings ever, how is this supposed to be in the interests of the customer? Even more meaningless "up to" figures than before and harder to identify what product is being sold.

Yep. Agreed. Utterly idiotic. It isn't as if most even care, and those that do now have stupid non-information, as you say.

My current synch with Plusnet is 24383 kbph with an ip profile of 21.5 Mbps

Superb typo.

That's nearly 68kbps then?
