The reason for this is because <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/tt\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">TalkTalk<\/a> chose to define capacity as &#8220;<em>the maximum amount of data the line could provide at any particular time<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The definition is an unusual one since a customer who makes full use of their service &#8220;<em>at peak times<\/em>&#8221; may just be making fairly normal use of their connection, which is particularly true on slower lines where it&#8217;s easy to harness all your download and upload speed. Granted upgrading to a faster service would help but that&#8217;s a matter of personal preference and this probably isn&#8217;t the best way to promote such a thing.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asa.org.uk\/rulings\/talktalk-telecom-ltd-G19-1018317.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>ASA Ruling (REF: G19-1018317)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In the case of ad (b) this was further illustrated by a bar chart indicating the dates on which the complainant\u2019s broadband was \u201cAt capacity\u201d.
