I am on 10mb ntl, but I have never gone higher than 250kbps, mostly 60-100kbps.
Tell me your secret?
Yes I have used torrents with loads of seeders etc.

Private sites with 10+mbit seeders are your friend.

If's its in your exchange.
If you are less than about 2.5 km's from the exchange.

2 big if's but if $ky are so much better than what you have now when are you moving to them. ?

If i was on ADSL provided out of the NTL exchange then as i am 10 .7 KM from the NTL exchange i would be lucky to even get 512k. However as i am on cable modem i get this.

For you ADSL fan boys just remember you cannot change the laws of physics or in other words the longer it is the worse it will get :D and no amount of tweaking will get it any better

broadband needs a return path, which a Sky dish doesn't have, it can receive, only, not transmit.

To be honest I doubt it. While Be have a good product it's still subject to the usual ADSL limitations and in the grand scheme of ADSL suppliers still a minority ISP (especially as 24mb is only available on LLU exchanges).

The financial state of NTL: TW means that they can't afford to compete directly with an ISP like that - they will aim to remain competitive with the majority market share. A high quality 10meg service does just that. (OK, some will argue the high quality part of that line but you get the idea...)
