Re: 20 Meg From June

Any decent (private) bittorrent site can easily fill a 20Mb pipe, along with usenet and a lot of the bigger sites out there like the BBC, Google, Youtube, Microsoft....
As far as gaming is concerned, if you're getting crappy pings or packetloss with 10Mb then you will with 20 since most online games shouldn't be swamping 512k of upstream. It all balls down to routing and Virgin's tends to be worse than BT's especially across the Atlantic since I suspect they use cheaper (read congested) providers.
