but hey, it's not all bad, they happily informed us in line with the increases being carried out by BT our package had been changed so that we are now capped at 30gb per month.
That Sucks.
Leave them.

Their limits are unenforced, and if BT can't offer you 2Mbit no one can, unless you get a cable hook up.
 
well looks liek its 2mbit :D

I was downloading at 260KB Per a Sec :D Big improvement over my original 60KB speed :)
 
I hate you all.

You're all so bloody lucky where you live, here in Australia the fastest line speed we can get is 1.5mbps, but even that costs a bloody fortune. I'm on 256kbps, which is all I can afford.

All that seems to be about to change here though, with a new ADSL coming in that will do 28mbps, wonder how much that's gonna cost though.

ok, I think its Just the ISP... (maybe they are doing some stuff to the line???) but sometimes when I use the Speed tester it reports as 2mbit, then sometimes 1mbit, then sometimes 1.5mbit etc etc..

Anyone know a Very Fast server thing that I can dwonload a file from too see what speed it goes at?? :D
 
yea but your in USA... Come over to the UK and you will be shocked at how much we have to pay for 1mbit / 2mbit :p
