Tests of 300 customers' net connections revealed that the average download speed they were getting was 2.7Mbps.
Which? has called on regulator Ofcom and Trading Standards to launch a fresh investigation into UK broadband.
It seems that though ISPs advertise speeds of 8Mbps, the actual download speed is less and consumers aren't happy. Complaints have been made.
