I understand it, and wish I didn't. I had several years in IT, data comms, and worked for an ISP and telecomms provider. Unfortunately you need something approaching that kind of background to make much sense of what they are saying.
The bottom line is that they are not providing the level of speed advertised. Most ISPs aren't. It's a bit of a con really. I tested my line one evening and found I was getting 1.5 mbps. I'm paying for 8. I tested it again about 2 in the morning and got about 4 mbps. I've since dropped my subscribed line speed down to 2 mbps with Tiscali as I can't see the point in paying a premium for something which they cannot deliver.
We should all do the same thing. If we impact the ISPs revenue streams then maybe they will take the issue seriously.
