Your exchange may not have them but Sky BB covers more of the UK than cable. Mr Murdoch's cash pays for a lot of exchange rollout.

Ethernet tho, not usb one as UKOnline suggesting to get from them .. Ethernet is much more stable and faster
Ethernet. The absolute best for UKOnline are the Billion routers, but they are a touch expensive. Otherwise pretty much any router is fine, Netgear GT is ok

Here's my pings on UKOnline, via wireless so slightly high
