Are you a Sky employee then?

Excellent, then potentially for you it's the best choice
That withstanding my point remains. The free Sky package is only 2Mbit and there will be a lot of customers not on ADSL2+.
Point is that lines that can do 10Mbit aren't as uncommon as you might think
Me an employee? No, I just have that custom title for the entertainment value

The problem with averages is that for a survey like that there are way too many factors to take into account.
The area I live in proves that - TW averages 5MB while Sky only averages 4. How does that compare with the 3.4 and 3?

Erm I'd say TW score 2Mbit higher and Sky 0.6Mbit higher
Yes of course there are many factors I was merely using that data to counter some points regarding performance.
If Sky's customers take a higher average speed that just suggests that Virgin's higher speed packages are overpriced and Sky are better at upselling. Telewest were better with upselling than ntl as well as I remember.
