I've realised (or perhaps remembered) something with all this current kerfuffle that the reality of download speeds etc is actually determined by distance from the exchange and the state of the wiring. All the flannel about hoooge speeds is worthless until you know the facts on the ground.  surrender:

I was paying too much for too little but it was one of those "I'll get around to switching at some point" things and the time has come. Mind you, the proof of the pudding etc...
I'll see what the switchover's like, performance etc and then comment.

The first thing I read (on their forum) is that their router is a bit iffy so I'll being using my own and their's can stay in the box.

It's branded as the Be*Box; you could prolly find out more about it than I could. The one I use is a Linksys which is apparently capable of ADSL2+ and has performed sweetly since it was first plugged in.

I enquired about it on their forum about an hour ago and have just had the thumbs up from a 5* user so fingers crossed.
