    How can your download speed be a fraction of your upload speed?! I thought that ADSL connections would always have a higher download rate... :huh:

    I haven't got a clue , just did another test which aint a lot different.

    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.

    not only a step price but also attached the most fascist ISP in the UK with there traffic shaping, throttling and filtering etc

    ill stick with BE, 100% performance all day every day and no d/l limit (well no complaints with 1TB a month so far) :)
