Regarding The Gadget Show's campaign about the phrase 'upto' in broadband advertising. I personally don't see a problem with this, as it is impossible for them to determine this in advance. The use of the term 'upto' is perfectly acceptable, given that most broadband suppliers state that actual speeds may vary. I believe a better of air time would be to campaign against the use of the word 'unlimited' when referring to download limits. How can a broadband service be unlimited when subject to a fair use policy that limits it to a specific amount of data? That clearly contradicts the word 'unlimited'!

I believe the advertising around Broadband is downright criminally deceptive. I bought an upto 8mb package (not naively believing I would actually get the full 8mb), but have only achieved at best between 2 and 2.5mb. When questioned, my provider suggested it was the distance between my house and the exchange that was the cause of the lower bandwidth, however, I live next-door to the exchange, so using this theory, nobody in my town will get better than me at 2.5mb. When I spoke to BT about this (they are not my ISP btw), they said nobody on my exchange could expect to get higher than 3.5mb. But they, along with the others still continue to off "upto" packages. I agree with the Gadget Show that the use of "upto" should stop.
