UK only. Where can I find an Internet provider who offers true internet speeds without an "up to" clause?

Hello, I'm trying to find an ISP which can offer the actual speed it claims. All the ones I know of offer speeds of "up to" 8mb, for example, when in reality they deliver 2mb. That's what's happening with me at the moment, on Talk Talk. I'm not in a cabled area, and I'm only looking for broadband and phone, not a TV package such as Sky, Virgin Media, etc. I simply want to have what I'm paying for. Any suggestions, anyone?

    no Isp can give you defiant connection speed there are to many variables to consider line length condition of wire your internal wiring the list goes on

    The voluntary Code, to which ISPs covering 95% of broadband customers across the UK have signed up, is designed to provide greater clarity for consumers and reduce the potential for consumers to be misled over the speeds they will be able to achieve from their broadband service

    it will give customers a true picture of likely broadband speeds at the point of sale
