ISPs rapped over 'misleading' 8Meg claims

I saw this in Computer Shopper (http://www.computershopper.co.uk/?ne...y.php?id=94041):

Quote:
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has slammed ADSL broadband suppliers for promoting their services as 'up to 8Mbps' because many customers suffer from significantly slower speeds...

...The ruling comes following a complaint against Bulldog Communications, made by cable rival NTL. The ASA agreed that advertising services of up to 8Mbps was misleading because 'a significant proportion of consumers could not achieve speeds close to the headline speed.' ...
Those ADSL ads have always irritated me. Well done NTL!
