    well I'm waiting for my 4Mb from Bulldog @ £40/month

    Sounds dear? about 20% more than currently as you have to take away ~£140/annum BT charges, and being 8x512Kb it will be like the upgrade from dialup all over

    Hi, before you commit to the upgrade get some advice from someone with some techie knowledge. I'm sure someone told me recently that many areas around the country are actually unable to cope with the higher broadband rates. Yet some unscrupulous internet providers are assuring their customers that the faster rates ARE available and proceed to charge them accordingly. (An analogy that springs to mind is buying a Porche and then finding out that the speed limit is 15 miles per hour.)

    This is great news! Thanks! I'm due for my speed boost in March :)

    I'm not sure which deal I'm on.. any ideas... it says "Tx: 288 kbps, Rx: 576 kbps".. and does that mean I download faster than I upload...?
