Be Broadband has announced that the main page of its website will feature a speed tester.

The UK internet service provider's (ISP) move is intended to show the firm's commitment to the voluntary Code of Practice (CoP) that was announced in June by Ofcom.

Rather than display advertising rates, the CoP obliges firms to show customers what speeds they can expect in reality.

Felix Geyr, managing director of Be Broadband, commented: "With the launch of this speed estimation tool, new customers can check the speed they will receive, rather than the 'up to' that other ISPs provide."

He added that the company felt it was a "step in the right direction" toward making customers feel less confused and more confident in the promises of ISPs.

Be Broadband currently off unlimited usage with speeds of up to 24 megabytes per second for £18 a month. This offer includes one static IP address for advanced users.
