BT and Virgin fight over Broadband speed

A complaint lodged by BT about the speeds of Virgin Media’s broadband service has been upheld by the Advertising Standards Authority.

The challenge centred around its advertisement “Hate to Wait?”, which ran in the national media and featured download times for songs and TV shows.

The ASA has agreed and ordered Virgin to make it clear that speeds will vary.
