EU broadband users getting 75% of advertised download speed
2015-10-22 14:20:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Broadband subscribers in the EU are still only getting 75 percent of the advertised download speed, although broadband prices are continuing to drop across the continent. These are just two of the findings of three studies on broadband speed, price and coverage published by the European Commission. The first report on broadband speed in all EU countries plus Iceland and Norway contains figures updated to October 2014. It shows that, on average, broadband speeds in Europe are not delivering on their promises, with the 75 percent figure the same as that posted in 2013. Despite continuous investment in broadband networks, which raised the average actual download speed significantly from 30 Mbps in 2013 to 38 Mbps in 2014, the difference between advertised and real speed remains constant. The second study, on broadband retail prices up to February 2015, found that broadband prices in the EU28 fell by about 12 percent between 2012 and 2015, with 12-30 Mbps offering the best value for money. The third and final study on broadband coverage found that over 216 million EU households (99.4 percent of the total) had access to at least one fixed or a mobile broadband technology at the end of 2014 (excluding satellite).

Smartphones have less memory than advertised - Test-Achats
2015-09-30 11:46:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Belgian consumer organisation Test-Achats/Test-Aankoop has submitted a complaint to the Jury for Ethical Practices, regarding the advertised capacity of smartphones. Test-Achats said that smartphones sold actually have less free storage included than advertised. The organisation gave two examples: the Apple iPhone 6 16 GB offers a truly available internal memory of 10.90 GB while the Samsung Galaxy S6 32GB has in fact only 24.70 GB of internal memory available. Test-Achats is demanding that manufacturers clearly state how much free gigabytes their devices actually have.
