Considering the high density of students in the area speeds on adsl are good. Though i am on a 20:1 contention thing.
Be on the lookout for wireless networks in the area theres lots of them and i dont know how secure they are.

Hamble's residential service was overstretched, BT had oversubscribed the exchange, fine now though afaik, and you being on the office package wouldn't have affected you.
That's no matter anyway, I'm on the Bassett exchange (just down the road from the uni) which by the looks of it serves Bassett + not a lot else and has always had loads of capacity free (I get full speed 24x7 and never ever anything below, the exchange has a phat 155Mbit pipe as it's part of the Southampton ring, and is well underutilised
)
Give me a PM some time we have drinkies
