A new Code of Practice to ensure that internet service providers (ISPs) provide greater clarity over customers’ broadband line speeds was published today by Ofcom. Would this make sense in Germany? 
 
Some 32 ISPs, covering over 90 per cent of broadband customers, have already agreed to honour both the letter and the spirit of the Code to give consumers a clearer understanding of the speeds they can get and to ensure that they are on an appropriate broadband package.
