Government wants to guarantee Internet download speeds

At higher speeds the real velocity is often less than half that advertised.

ADSL broadband internet operators in Spain are to be forced to guarantee delivery speeds which are at least 80% of the velocity sold, and now suppliers will have to inform customers of the real speeds delivered.

Minister for Industry, Miguel Sebastian, has said that the Government is to stop the misleading advertising. He also guaranteed that the Government had no intentions of limiting the movement of information on the net, and that a new ‘letter of users rights’ is to be established.

Current figures for 20 Mega connections show that Orange only really offers 43% of the speed, Ya.com 44% and Jazztel 46%.
Meanwhile it has been announced that there are now more than a million .es internet domains.
