<p dir="ltr">At the end of the day any regulation introduced around speeds will only work to discourage innovation beyond the then defined minimum or standard. I don't see how consumers would win.</p>
<p dir="ltr">You're right in saying this is a job for the marketing department. You can see it already with ISPs striving to top other "real" measures such as Netflix and YouTube performance.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As you said the NBN has lifted those expectations significantly. It's not just the RSPs who have been at fault but government representatives and NBN Co itself with claims of speed. On top of this I'd also suggest that the the NBN halted much progress in the retail market making the gap between reality and expectation larger again. Only recently has the issue of affordability been discussed outside of these forums. It may be the case that internet becomes less accessible now due to the cost.</p>
