The Real Broadband Speeds E-mail

Written by Ken Rutkowski, on 18-04-2008 13:57

Bandwidth providers across the global continue to mislead consumers when it comes to bandwidth. Speeds can be as much as 90% less an what is advertised. As consumer are offered more bandwidth alternatives, the incumbrance will need to guarantee the speeds being marketed.

Really telling
Two things: 
 
The lack of mention of Australia. Not surprising given the current state of affairs. With the Australian Government's recent NGN RFP target of only 12Mbps symmetrical bandwidth (access speed) and no mention of contention rations directly we will have some way to go. 
 
It is a little disheartening to hear that other countries also allow a similar divide between advertised and achieved speeds, just like the debate between "unlimited" and the reality of "acceptable use policy caps". Buyer beware. 
 
Having been on the service provider side I understand the issues and counter arguments.
