Elkins Park, PA | Mean / Average speed? Possibly customer speeds for a locality could be polled, and the mean/average score could give a slightly more realistic viewpoint on what customers can expect? Advertise the mean score instead?
Well, when you do that no less than half the customers are getting less than that published number. The other half are doing better.
You can't get anywhere near pleasing everyone. "Up to" does not sound like a misleading description to me. It portrays that the actual speed a customer may get is variable.
And advertising mean speed wouldn't be sexy. What car manufacturer advertises that their car will do 55 MPH? It's much more likely that the top speed on the speedometer can't be reached because the governor will kick in at about 110mph. Advertising "up to" potential max speeds on high speed internet connections isn't that different.
