Its a disease though..

Now ive had it for a year I find even 10MB BB slow, so cant go back now.

Only Half of my town "Aylesbury" has cable so finding a house, with suitable gameroom storage is proving difficult.

Even with this kinda speed certain sites are still limiting the speed in which you can download stuff, youtube still sucks for example.

but get me on the newsgroups and I can download a 700MB film in about 70 seconds, 7.6Gb 360 iso in about 15 - 20 Mins (rough estimates)

Aha. It appears we have a fraudster in our midst...

I zoomed into Setch's pic and realise it was shooped as I could see the pixels! Pressing undo a few times gave me this:

Seems like a USR 57.6KB/s modem to me!

Does that make you any happier Martin?

Mines hanging off a 10mb pipe from one of our London Datacentres, I've had a look but there's not a good server to run this from up there - i'd be silly to run it on anything other than a VDI but we don't have one available.

Although Virgin are ba$tards, I can't complain at the speed £60 month inc tv & phone but only for cabled areas, all you lot out in the sticks have no chance.

Â?

I live within 10 mins walk of the town centre and there is still no cable near me.

Agreed, I live in the London commuter belt and no sign of any cable here. If someone offered 50mb+ BB round here they'd make a fortune with all the City types who'd take it up instantly. My BT BB may be (relativley) slow but it has been very reliable.

ADSL24 LLU (uses BE network, same as O2)

Should approach 24M nearer the exchange. I'm about 1.5 miles away.

£20 pm, no shaping, no cap. The only way to go faster round here is to use Virgin cable. Past experience with them has taught me to stay away.
