Re: Depends who you ask

Well according to the BT website when I enter my Postcode, House Number/Name and Land line number:

Fibre broadband8Mb-13Mb Estimated download speed range, 6Mb Lowest assured download speed

Standard broadband1Mb-3.5Mb Estimated download speed range, 512k Lowest assured download speed

I currently get about 7Mb (FTTC) as I am about 2Km from the cabinet

They have upgraded "Up To". Unlimited Broadband - Up to 17Mb, Unlimited Infinity - Up to 52Mb, Unlimited Infinity 2 - Up to 76Mb

@AC

Superfast internet speeds from different suppliers?

...we can only get Virgin Media and according the neighbours the actual speed is poor...

So how do they test their speed (congested WiFi, entrails of a flying pig or a direct connection to the router using an ethernet cable)?
