Smile Re: [Merged] Finally [OFCOM investigating misleading speeds in adverts]
Maybe the simple answer is to have some kind of meter built into a modem so it displays the speed used for receiving and transmitting by the second. Then maybe Virgin could use a per second billing system which charges you for the quality of service you are actually getting not the one advertised. Better still, there could be some form of broadband tachograph built into the modem so that an independent agency could monitor the quality of service. I suspect then that the advertising might have to change and bills could be cheaper.
