The broadband watchdog has accused some providers of failing to be honest about speeds.

According to the latest statistics, there are nearly 53 million internet users in the UK, out of a population of 62 million. Just about everyone in Britain between the ages of 12 and 82 is online.

But many of us don't get a fair deal when it comes to our broadband packages. Last week regulator Ofcom ordered providers to be more open and honest when providing information about broadband speeds.
