    Not the worst then, but could be faster imo. :D

    Mine is done through adsl, as no cable where I'm living.

    Deffo not the worst but can you really believe that we are still getting speeds like this in the UK when you have a lot of European countries getting 100mb to their front doors?

    Well BT has finally started rolling out Fibre to some areas but they still want to charge the earth for using it?

    Current price - little over £8 / month
    Speed - Around 3MB

    BT Fibre - Little over £25 / month

    Speed - Between 20 - 25mb

    ok yes faster but at a rather steep cost... personally refuse to pay it for a internet connection.

    They have a 10 day warm up process whereby they can give you any speed they fancy and you aren't able to question it.

    However, they have said their unlimited fair usage is 105 GB per month, and for me, that's the first ISP which has actually put a figure on the " unlimited " thing

    On what's meant to be a 8MB connection (out of contract lock-in), it's not normally this slow
