Looking forward to 100Mb so I might get a decent upload speed

6416/506 with Orange cheap cheap service, it's only sold as 2 meg.

The thing that makes me laugh is that unless you've got cable, all broadband comes via BT infrastructure and broadband suppliers just buy bandwidth from their network and sell it on to you, like Gas and Electricity suppliers but with some gubbins at their end which does matter (servers).

Different companies promising amazing broadband is like different gas suppliers saying their gas will heat your house faster or electric companies saying you'll get brighter bulbs. How you're wired to the BT exchange network is the limiting factor, hopefully that will be rebuilt in the next few years to fibre, I can't remember the timescale.

download = 928
upload = 385

This is on Sky, but we are a long way away from the exchange

9750 / 990

Virgin

You will only download at 200kbps etc because it depends how many people are downloading the same file e.g there might be 50 people all downloading the same file and people put upload limits on their comps because if somones taking all your upload speed itll slow your download speed, hope this makes sense.
