Yes, broadband is about being an always on connection which is faster than dial up. On a 20meg shaped to 5 meg connection you will still be 100x faster than dial up!? and 2 1/4 mb faster than the UK average!

Anyway, they do want us to have the speed, evidently, otherwise they wouldnt provide it. What they don't want, however is 95% of their customer base having slow connections down to the 5% of idiots who max out thier connections 24/7 ruining everyone elses online experience.
