It's a none starter. Openreach provide the speed based on the line quality. BTWholesale provide the access and capacity.

Re: Adverts for broadband speeds to face new rules
Virgin Media has hit back after a report by Which? claimed that UK broadband connections are, on average, 51% slower than advertised.
The consumer website said customers on Virgin’s 200Mbps package were in fact getting an average of 52Mbps – just 26% of the speed promised. https://www.cable.co.uk/news/virgin-...ort-700002550/ |

Tbh i am on Virgins side on this one. I could believe it 8 years ago; the forum was flooded with people complaining about speed issues but they have come on leaps and bounds since then.

Re: Adverts for broadband speeds to face new rules
I think Virgin has always been a case of winners and losers. Some get full speed 24/7, some get crap speeds 24/7. I can believe Which on this one.

Re: Adverts for broadband speeds to face new rules
Interesting finding - I've run multiple speedtest on speedtest.net using wired and wireless and different O/S, browser. Figures are decimals of expected.
Sam Knows box : 1 pretty much across the board Linux laptop (wired) : 1 Windows laptop (wireless) : .65 Linux laptop (wireless) : .15 (possible due to drivers and age of laptop) Windows desktop (wired) test run fairly close together and repeatable - Browser to website : 1 Desktop app : .1-.2 Now if you do browse to website and get speeds over 100Mb on Windows 10 you are prompted to use the app for more accurate readings but the app gives a reading well off the expected given data from SamKnows and other wired devices. Yet the app is the method Ookla recommend. I also get lower figures from other speedtest sites. |
