    Do contractors know their limits?

      'Up to' is a meaningless claim.

      My broadband is 'up to' 24Mbps, I get 4Mbps.
      Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

        Not really.

        Your broadband is 4MBps. The package you are paying for covers anyone whose broadband speed falls in the range of 0.5MBps to 24MBps.

        Pedantic I know, but I hate when folk moan saying my broadband is upto X and I only get X minus whatever.

        Some people will be lucky and get close to 24MBs, others like you will be much lower.

          It's not meaningless.

          It means that no one on that package gets more than 24Mbps.
          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

            I fully understand why I don't get 24Mbps and I've never complained, just using it as a comparison.

            Although it's factualy correct ISP's have been rapped for using it as it can be missleading at best, they never say "Average speed of 7Mbps" in the headline and "Up to 24Mbps" in the small print do they.
