Mainly because they deem that it&#8217;s no longer needed as the market has changed.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a>&#8217;s most recent report, which was based on data gathered from both custom modified routers and ISP supplied routers with special software onboard, was published in October 2022 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2022\/10\/ofcom-2022-study-average-uk-broadband-isp-speeds-hit-59-4mbps.html\">here<\/a>). The report revealed that the average (median) UK download rate had risen from 50.4Mbps last year to 59.4Mbps now (uploads went from 9.8Mbps to 10.7Mbps), but it could only really reflect data from the market&#8217;s largest providers.<\/p>\n<p>The regulator notes that their research was originally designed to provide consumers with accurate information regarding the real-world connection speeds that different broadband services provided. But since then, changes in the rules around the use of connection speeds in the advertising of broadband services, and the introduction of their Voluntary Residential Code of Practice on Broadband Speeds (this is only supported by the main providers), means that &#8220;<em>consumers now have access to accurate speed information during the purchase process<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In fairness, it&#8217;s not correct to suggest that all consumers now have access to accurate speed information, as we still see plenty of ISPs (often smaller players) that play fast and loose with the rules &#8211; partly because neither <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a> nor the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/asa\" target=\"_blank\">Advertising Standards Authority<\/a> (ASA) have been particularly proactive at enforcing the rules. Meanwhile, consumers don&#8217;t always realise when ISPs aren&#8217;t playing by the rules and so don&#8217;t report them.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, it is fair to say that Ofcom&#8217;s report doesn&#8217;t really do a good job of reflecting the diversity of connections and packages that exist in today&#8217;s market and so, if it can&#8217;t be re-structured, should instead be retired.
