Shame. The Orange cell site in my area is oversubscribed and on 3G it takes a whopping 5 minutes for Googles page to come up.0 -

so...erm...as broadband speeds are often (not always) based upon location, distance from the exchange, quality of cabling between your computer and the exchange (internal and external) and other factors, what are you really hoping for?
I have friends in Norfolk who live miles from anywhere, they have terrible speeds, but they don't expect BT to install a new exchange to improve the speeds for the 2 houses on that road, though that would be nice
