The current advertising of fibre speeds is misleading.
Boris is calling for a gigabit Britain and Openreach are claiming to have deployed gigabit broadband to 4.5m homes yet the fastest package is capped to 900Mbps or 0.9 gigabit.
The 100Mbps difference is despite what some may argue quite a lot of lost speed, its more than the fastest FTTC package. I am fully aware of overheads but wouldn't expect an overhead of 100Mbps. I'm also aware that some Gbit network cards cap out in the mid 950Mbps region.
Really surprised the advertising authority haven't cottoned onto this yet. Happy to be corrected if I'm wrong.
