So you would be happy if an ISP advertised "speeds up to 100Mb (see Terms and Conditions)", even if this could only be achieved by sitting in the company's headquarters?

Most of us understand that advertised speeds cannot be guaranteed, just as trains cannot guarantee to run to their published timetables. But if a train company consistently failed to meet its own published standards, shouldn't a revised timetable be released?
