What speed does your ISP promise? etc.) about your current quality of service and ends with a speed test. It certainly wouldn&#8217;t be the first to do this and indeed many councils and other information sites have been doing something similar for years.<\/p>\n<p>The presentation also makes it hard to shake the feeling that this is perhaps more of a self-promotional effort. However the ISP stressed to ISPreview.co.uk that this wasn&#8217;t the case, with the survey ideally become an annual event that helps to track the \u201c<em>real progress<\/em>\u201d (or lack thereof) of UK broadband upgrades.
