More details from petition creator

Many ISP's (Internet Service providers) are advertising Broadband with 'Unlimited' downloads. The majority of these services are not unlimited as in the providers fair usage policies they either cap the use at a defioned amount, or use an undefined criteria that only they know.

Signed.

done. i wanted to sign to the jeremy clarckson being the next prime minister but its finished already

Signed although to be honest, this has been brought to OFCOM's and ASA's attetion in the past and they have said that there is nothing wrong with the adverts because it's there on the screen, only in very small writing

YOu should all switch to demon
when they say unlimited they mean it unlimited bandwidth + downloads and uploads and everything for £20 a month which gives me 8MB broadband

My ISP has said nothing like "you can only download 40GB" We read all the small print and everything, yet we still got a letter and our connection cut off.

8MB broadband isn't guarenteed for all which is another thing ISP's are bad for (saying you can get 8MB when it's actually up to). It depends on a number of factors including the distance from the exchange and the wiring between there and you. For example, I best that I can get from any company is 4mb.

Same for me, it's because of the "noise" on the line. I looked into getting 24Mbps broadband (I'm currently on 8Mbps) but it would actually give me the same speed as I am getting now because of the distance I am from the exchange and the noise that distance gives me.

Yep same here.

I'm supposed to be getting 2mb - I get 1mb for the same reasons. - But I know of a lot of company's which claim 8mb etc, when, as Vazza said, it's up to. =/
