[QUOTE="archos4, post: 1130733, member: 174869"] It very much depends where you live. I'm with BT and paying for unlimited downloads "subject to fair usage", which basically translates as 100 GB, 20 Mbps down, up to 1 Mbps up. I get around 4 Mbps. But switching won't give me any benefit whatsoever as our nearest exchange is about 2 miles away. And apparently fibre-optic would only yield a maximum of 15 Mbps where we live anyway. So I'm paying for 20 Mbps and getting 20 percent of that. If you're actually getting 8 Mbps or close I don't see why you should change :) [/QUOTE]
