This is unlike VM's cable service where, although of course no speed is guaranteed, but you are far more likely to get the headline speed.
I am not going to the ofcom link Carl as you know what I will say, that the data is not of the entire country only select regions.

Far more likely yes... outside of non-traffic managed timeframes yes... unless it is congested with oversubscribing which some areas have then its very hard to get the headline speed.

As for Sky's position, they are in every right to request the ad be removed, because Sky tells potential customers about the limits of the connections they are going to lease. And they will be honest and tell you. That is not a con, that is being truthful. VM on the other hand are not in that regard, too much overuse of "up to" doesn't make it so.

VM know they will be forced to remove the ad, but in true business like style they know it will take a bit of time to get it removed by which time their corporate sabotage has done it's job. And even more students sign up to overpopulate UBR's :P
