Broadband users are not getting the advertised broadband speeds that they are paying for, this is according to a survey undertaken by telecoms regulator Ofcom. The survey shows that nearly one fifth of UK broadband customers on an eight Megabit per second (Mbps) connection actually receive less than 2Mbps.

“It’s very easy to go out and find out what the price of broadband is, but much more difficult to get a good understanding of what the observed speeds are likely to be,” said Ofcom chief executive Ed Richards.

It’s about time the telecoms industry regulator Ofcom takes some action. They should do more to stop this exploitation of consumers. Is it worth paying for those top broadband download packages then? After all you do not get the advertised broadband speed.
