incidently again today there has been evident congestion on my link, however I only noticed it by checking my latency data.

That I am not calling unfit for purpose even tho it probably would affect gaming, I am talking about people with extreme issues where basic useability is affected.

The official defenition of broadband to be honest I dont know as there is variations of it from different people, ooriginally it was around 256kbit but some countries certianly have it set at a higher level now. Not sure about the uk tho. However if things like websites dont even load properly, things like iplayer dont work even tho it may be possible to push 256kbit down the line it would likely be considered not fit for purpose.
