Are you getting the broadband Speed you paid for?

In a recent report, consumer group Which? surveyed 300 users with typical “up to 8Mbps” broadband packages and found out that the difference between the 8Mbps they could be expecting and what they actually got was huge.

The average speed of the customers surveyed was just 2.7Mbps and the worst was a mere 0.9Mbps
