A friend and I had a talk about this situation a few months ago actually. As the law stands, it seems that as long as an ISP can demonstrate that it is trying to give you the speed you pay for, they can in theory legally get away with giving you a mere 0kbps, and doesn't have to give any discounts for failing.

The law could be different here, because hes in Holland, but I suspect its not so very different, and perhaps thats why OFCOM is trying to regulate this better.
