They came up with their "Voluntery Code of Practice for Broadband" and basically stopped all regulation. You can no longer complain to the regulator in a meaningful way and are actively discouraged from doing so.

I did a FOI request to get information on what methods Ofcom use to measure compliance with their code... the answer.. None. They have done no checking that ISPs are complying whatsoever. Apparently they intend to do so in the future, but have no idea when.

Currently it's a free for all.
