UK Broadband

Just checking on http://www.dslreports.com/archive the list of speedtests.

The top 2 UK entries are

111 104 ntl.com 701 139 NTL Group Ltd
112 49 blueyonder.co.uk 666 146 Blue Yonder

Yup 111th and 112th.

Apparently we're behind ISPs in Mexico, Argentina, Australia, Poland, Holland, Belgium and Sweden, amongst others.

Are people happy that we have the right mix of price, performance (contention wise) and speed, or do you guys think that for whatever reason the UK's idea of 'Broadband Britain' is ending up a bit closer to 'Midband Britain'?

This is NOT aimed at any particular company by the way, not digging at either cableco or BT, just interested in if people feel they are getting good value.

Incidentally, those Canadian ISPs in the top 10, none of them are over 30 quid a month
