...and now you are talking about "ranges".
Datacenters and ISPs for commercial use can provide very detailed SLAs.
Consumer ISPs refuse to publish metrics or have 3rd party services monitor them to create accountability.
They refuse to provide the most basic SLAs and refuse to adopt any user-friendly quality rating.

I literally started how describing something as "up to" [ostensibly a range] is not outright misleading, if at all. It was also strictly speaking of marketing material and how well you can convey info in one banner. Seems you're not a stranger of moving goalposts and dodging question. You're selectively arguing some of my points, while so elegantly avoiding others because "oh that's different". Which is a very immature way of pretending to have a meaningful conversation, and a good way of hinting you have no counter for that one. You're doubling down on your misconceptions. Whatever "they" do it's because it's legal. And I'll be blunt: your definition of what is moral and what things should mean is irrelevant. If you want to be right at any cost you can just keep inventing personal definitions to apply to others but not to you because "that's different". I made my point at quite some length. If that didn't do it, nothing will.
