:And the speed for your area could change, at any time. Heck, the speed for just YOUR HOUSE, can change, depending on what could be wrong.
If they can prove that their speed actually works "up to" what they say, I see no reason that they can't advertise it as such.
The one thing that all providers though need to remove from their ads or TOS is "unlimited service."
Everyone gets confused on that one.
I understand that the speeds are influenced by other events, particularly node overloads etc. But in my case, as far as I've been able to determine, there's nothing wrong at my end, so I'm talking about people who are in similar circumstances.
