Dude, read the TS comments properly lar He's not expecting max specs! He knows no service can achieve MAX speed but he expects it to be reasonable, best effort basis. You buy a car that claims its max speed is 180kmph, but you find out it can only go 18kmph. Tell me, won't you be screwing them upside down? You buy a burger which was shown in an ad which was bigger than your head, but they serve you with a burger that is smaller than your fist. Tell me, would you just shut up and eat it?

All TS is trying to say is that if you know your service can't even reach 5mbps in the best ever real world conditions, DO NOT advertise it as 10mbps. Its an outright fraudulent attempt to lure unsuspecting consumers (wah Wiggy 10mbps wor, celcom only 3.6mbps, of course I go Wiggy lar!).
Streamyx advertises 1mbps, and at least some subscibers can reach about 70-90% of that claim. Thats decent and acceptable. But can we say the same for Wiggy? Can ANY of their subscibers reach more than 50% of the advertised speed?

Your other dumb crap examples:
Astro never claimed to give you thousands of channels, they advertised the accurate number of channels available.
Celcom/Digi/Maxis never advertised their service to go 14Mbps.
