Will it put a stop to idiots complaining about speeds?

One benefit - ISP's will have to tell us what their download limits are.

How is it "eco-friendly" to have a manufacturing facility 200 miles
away from the main office? And why are they assembling the tiles at the
main office rather than at the manufacturing plant?

It seems to be all about a company in the UK, not the US. But if it was
in the US, then I would agree about 200 miles being close by. But it's
not.

It isn't but they're reporting it for their US audience, notice they
were also confused between pounds sterling and pounds weight.
