I'm on 2MB, not sure if that's good or not. :)

About the same as it is here, speedwise, though they manage to get it out to remote rural areas better than BT do. My brother-in-law has steady 2mbps in the small town where he lives, yet in a bigger town here I get less.

It was BT's slow push at agreeing with Ofcom to open their exchanges to outside companies that held the UK back. We were one of the first countries to get the original technology, but thanks to BT we are now behind most of europe.

beaten :(

how's broadband in Spain?

oh, and my work network is:

Ping: 25ms

Download speed: 8508kbs
Upload speed:8032kbs

Depends what the monthly usage is.

At the moment I'm stuck with BT, which means I have to pay the 8meg price for 1.5meg (at best) because they don't give me enough monthly allowance otherwise.

When the contract runs out, i'll consider going with someone else, but by then BT might have got around to 24mb access for most people. (the plan is to have it up and running by mid 2007 and out to more people by end of 2007).

Upload speeds are a lot less because that's currently how the technology works.

I guess I win this :)

Why's the upload so bad though?

Also can someone explain to me why anyone would buy a package for an 8MB connection but has a usuage limit of 2GB a month? What's the point? :S

Better than mine usually is. I'll test it tonight if I'm online.
