they already did, they "asking ISPs to sign up for a Code of Practice" ... "It's a voluntary code that will be tested using 'mystery shoppers,' " ..."Ofcom is also going to investigate real broadband speeds around the country" with a survey.
"
One thing not mentioned is throttling. For example, an ISP could give an accurate speed estimate then deliver a lower speed due to contention or deliberate speed throttling in response to file sharing. The fact that your DSL2 connection can do 7Mbps doesn't mean you're going to get that speed all day every day"
it just fills you with real confidence that Ofcom are really looking after your legal consumer rights doesnt it

getting yourself a few D1 forms and fact sheets an passing them around your friends will be far more effective in the long term OC.
