To be fair having used BT Line based Broadband on 3 Seperate ADSL Providers which I fell out with earlier this year whilst waiting for my house sale to complete (living in rented acomm with no ntl)
I have to say that it seems that a few big name ADSL products do not need traffic shaping for them to be crap, normally living 3 Miles from you local exchange is sufficient for the connection to be randomly fluctuating and drop off at random periods, only to be told later that your Broadband service needs to be downgraded to a lower speed as you live 'too far' from the exchange and this will lead your connection to be unstable. (Why the heck did you sell me it then Muppets) I was sold 8mb and Ended up with 1.5Mb sometimes when lucky.
More needs to be done to stop this false Broadband Advertising in this country, if they can not provide it then they should not advertise it. If people are paying for 10mb Broadband they should get it or near as damn it 99% of the time. If the can not provide to a certain percentage of cuystomers OFCOM should stop them advertising it as the theoretical maximum (subject to blah, blah, blah and blah). Over 50% of people with a BT line can not get anything like the maximum speed.
Very Misleading indeed.
