I think its obvious your UBR needs to be split and re segmented to provide a better service !

unless there a thread of his that shows sub-1mb speeds over a period of time, getting 2.5mb on a 20mb line is (imo) within what the (advertised) contention ratio allows. that's how it is advertised and so trading standards shouldnt do anything. Of course you don't have to take the speeds they give you, and (imo) they don't *have* to provide more than the contention ratio is (eg 20mb of total bandwidth for 20x20mb users), so it's up to him to look elsewhere or take what they can give.
