Re: Why advertise in Mb, when it should be MB!

If You don't care, then the rest will not. But in your position it is for you to be just the opposite, to improve things for others so they do not have to care themselves.

Right now, nobody cares that the measurement is not joined up and misleading.

They will only care if it's important and because they don't, it means it isn't.

You are in the wrong world if you think computing is about anything else.

Go back to sleep.

Right and the review by Ofcom about misleading speeds is nothing like what I am referring to?! Its precisely this setup of speeds in the double digits which confuses people when they think they're getting MB!!

So, here in the UK we could enforce our ISPs to show speeds in MB without request to any other country.

Of course you did

This is not an international issue, its one which will begin in the UK, if possible, and then spread. That is my line anyway.

And its something which is regulated in every country anyway, advertising standards are such that they differ everywhere. So, here in the UK we could enforce our ISPs to show speeds in MB without request to any other country.
