here's a page detailing what service I use - home30 http://adsl24.co.uk/broadband/home/
This is fairly typical, but unlike some isp's there's no port blocking. Tbh I doubt I'd use 30gb peak bandwidth anyway, considering I get unlimited at weekends and on weekdays from midnight to 8am. Not like Pipex (now Tiscali ) and their 'fair usage policy'. :dead:

I'm on Virgin Media (formerly Telewest) 20MB broadband...whilst there is no capping, the d/l speed fluctuates dependant on the number of users at any given time, but I seldom go below 15MB.

I take it your BT exchange has upgraded to ADSL2 then? Still waiting for mine.

ah, the good stuff hehe, the cable network near us (previously Diamond Cable/NTL/now Virgin) is all fibre optic from quite some time ago. Not available as 'cable' in my street for some reason, hence bt line malarkey.

I got mine 6/7 year ago yet I know people in lesser populated areas only 3 mile away that are still waiting. :hmmm:
