Many western European countries do much better than us for their broadband, it seems. Especially France. Why? Simple, their national phone system is not run by a private company with shareholders.'Britons are not getting the broadband services they are being sold, suggests a government report. Ofcom's analysis of broadband speeds in the UK shows that, for some services, 97% of consumers do not get the advertised speed.' http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-10760069 The phrase 'tell me something I don't know' springs to mind. The real question is how many of these identical reports are we going to see before they actually DO something about this? In any other industry, e.g. gas/electric suppliers the company(ies) would have been fined for misselling their products months, if not years ago. Julian
