"To Broadband Or Not To Broadband"

At the moment I have a standard 56k modem on the BT Surftime ISP.

I am a big downloaded and feel my connection needs more speed, so I was just wondering weather a change to Cable and Blueyonder was a good idea or not.

If you could tell me about the download speeds etc that would be great too.

I was also wondering if I would be able to have two PC's connected to the internet seeing that you can use the phoneline aswell. Or is that not possible?

So basically, is it worth what you pay for according to speed diffrence and realiability?

Thanks,

I got fed up of my 56k modem, so decided to switch to blue yonder broadband. And i was amazed at the speed when i first got it, and im very happy with it.
Normally it downloads at about 60kb/second, but a lot of the time it gets up to about 70. But yeah go for that.

As far as I know, if you network two computers, then they can both surf the net at the same time. However, expect it to be quite slow with 56k, but killer with ISDN and above!
