All DSL is equal, right?
By introducing a Voluntary Code of Practice regarding broadband speeds, OFCOM has shone a light on an issue which has long been a problem within our industry. Namely that while a number of essential components are required to deliver a DSL service, the quality of each having a direct impact on the overall quality of the service, the majority of these components are not mentioned in the product’s description.
This means that it is advisable to explore the quality of each component, especially if they are likely to be purchased in large volumes. How is it possible for example for one provider to deliver an “Up to 8Mbps” service for upwards of £1,000 per annum, while another can offer the same “Up to 8Mbps” service for free?
