Closed Pay less for slow broadband

Closed on

Bring in legislation that forces ISPs to reduce charges for the poorest quality (lowest speed) broadband services.

At present, internet service providers (ISPs) charge a flat rate irrespective of the speed of service actually delivered. I propose a mandatory, substantial discount for those receiving lesss than, say, 1/3 of the average speed for that service. (The average speed is not related to the 'up to' speed that is already widely acknowledged to be misleading).
