it wouldnt surprise me now if within the next 12 months the ASA update their "10% of users" stance. As there is now a conflict with ofcom's position and the ASA guidelines, which is why BT stated they are happy with just 10% of users meeting expectations. I suspect the 10% users guideline is only a stop gap and something more reasonable will come along such as maybe 51% or 75%.

Andrew in his ThinkBroadband article links to the Which? campaign page and the full report that is missing from the BBC article.

Both still leave millions being let down though...

Only way is BAN speed in adverts and only provide estimate once you know who is trying to order.

Your experience may be that 74/18 is the maximum test speed, but can see people testing at 76 http://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest/results.html... on Infinity 2

And that speed tester is ultra reliable/accurate? i say this because when i have used it it has provided dodgy results , thinks my upstream is less than 13mbps when it is always 18+mbps the downstream isn't as accurate as the older speed tester I sync at the full rates 80/20 my IP profile is 77+mbps My max ds throughput is only 75.2mbps, was sub 74mbps when on plusnet

And for the majority of people it is fine, and have looked at others on your ISP and they are beating you on upload so not our tester.

The reliable/accurate can be thrown at any of the online testers, no matter whether running on a PC or dedicated hardware.

well my upstream tests fine on the older flash test,and on other speed-testers results are fairly consistent ,always around the 18.7-19mbps , during FTP uploads i see speeds of between 2,4-2.5MB/s
