THE ACCC has revealed it is formally investigating broadband retailers\u2019 speed claims \u2014 and it wants 16,000 volunteer households to help it work out if consumers are being misled.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

[…]\u00a0many people are unhappy when the speed they get turns out to be far less than what was advertised.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Information collected from the [ACCC]\u2019s broadband army should also determine whether the NBN Co itself is to blame.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The program is set to kick off in the second half of this year and involve 4,000 homes. It’s probably only 4k\u00a0because there aren’t more than\u00a0that\u00a0with the NBN yet… Hey-ohhhhhhhhhhhhh!<\/p>\n

But seriously folks… This isn’t just an NBN thing, backhaul infrastructure is a massive issue,\u00a0as anyone in a neighbourhood with a high Netflix user base\u00a0is all too aware.<\/p>\n
