We cover false and misleading advertising with the same laws here in Australia. ISPs are required to give estimated primetime speeds you can expect for a given plan. E.g. for my 100mbs plan, they tell me that in my area, I can expect 82mbs during evening peak. We also have some ISPs who are being transparent about over provisioning and even go as far as stopping selling into an area until they acquire more bandwidth into a node. More on topic, this is being caused by companies milking their old networks unwilling to upgrade. I suspect it is due to execs believing their underlings when they're told their network upgrades were supposed to alleviate capacity problems at a great cost. Fact is, usage is evolving, go to somewhere like south Korea and YouTube streaming 4k on your phone during your commute is the norm. People have the bandwidth there, and they use it. Here, people don't have the bandwidth, so they don't, but they would. ISPs don't seem to realise this and think it's a select few ruining the service for the whole with their pesky streaming. When really it's just changing customer needs and reluctance to serve.
