After getting 'peed off with performance I ordered ADSL.
But things were so bad, it was only after ordering, I noticed
that my ping times to my router (WRT54G with 3rd party firmware) were between 10ms and 2000ms!!

For some reason my router only seems happy on Channel 11. (despite a site survey saying Channel 1 was noise free).

I suspect it may be my cordless phone causing problems.

Anyway after some jiggery pokery- router ping times back down to < 1ms.

Now, in my haste, I have ADSL for 3 month contract. But it would be nice to compare, and know what real speeds I can get, anyway. It may work out less cash for more speed.
