[governance] OFCOM publishes latest Broadband Speeds

Wed Mar 2 03:04:37 EST 2011

Ofcom today published its latest broadband speeds research which shows
that the average broadband speed is now 6.2Mbit/s but is still less
than half (45 per cent) of the average advertised broadband speed of
13.8Mbit/s.

Ofcom also published its response to the Committee for Advertising
Practice (CAP) and Broadcast Committee for Advertising Practice (BCAP)
consultation on broadband advertising.  Ofcom is recommending that if
speeds are used in broadband advertising they should based on a
Typical Speeds Range so that consumers have a clearer idea of what
speeds to expect.
