I have just read in Broadband Choices that the advertising regulators are to tell ISPs that they cannot advertise a particular speed unless at least 10% of customers can actually get that speed. Why have they set the bar so low? That means that 90% will not get the advertised speed.

Even though we get plenty moans about VM here I'm certain much more than 10% of cable customers get what is advertised. Would this be true of BT and other ISPs delivering ADSL on copper?

What would be a reasonable percentage to set?
