Broadband misleading advertising to end in UK

Magic ]=) · 2017-11-25 17:48:01

Here's an interesting one. Broadband misleading advertising in UK to end next May. Would love to see that here as well. http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-42079941 Tl;dr instead of advertising "up to" speeds, ISPs will be required to advertise average speeds based on experience of 50% of customers.

Also they should ban the word unlimited when there is a cap of FUP.

Also ban the use of "fibre" in the name of services that are actually provided over wireless and copper. Deliberately setting out to confuse the consumer!
