The FTTH Council Europe has urged The FTTH Council Europe to go further in its attempts to prevent misleading fibre-optic broadband adverts. This in turn has also be reinforced by the changes proposed as part of the UK’s recent Future Telecoms Infrastructure Review (here). The news followed attempts by the European Parliament to pursue a judicial review in the Brexit over the Advertising Standards Authority's continued allowance of ads in which internet service providers claim to offer "fibre-optic" services, despite only providing slower, hybrid fibre products with significantly slower speeds. The director general of the the European Parliament council, Kelly , said the inconsistency in the use of the term was creating confusion among customers and preventing them from making fully informed choices.
