Seems perfectly reasonable a disclaimer to me, most PCs won't have a problem but crappy laptops with dire hard drives and anything with a 100Mbit network card or a network link at 100Mbit rather than a Gbit will not be able to hit 100Mbit.

They are hardly going to have a deal like that with no disclaimer at all as a large proportion of performance issues on most broadband networks are actually related to customer equipment.

We may be technically literate and able to confirm that our equipment is working as it should be and we have no spyware, everything at 1Gbit/Full, etc, most aren't.
