Because, like StuartC says, I am not using it for any business, I just want the speeds I am being charged for WITHOUT the silly STM nonesence!
And to be honest, the last few weeks it has been spot on, no matter what day or night, I get damn near the full 10Mb!
I did a speedtest (NOTE: not JUST a speedtest site, but also multiple downloads to confirm what the speedtest sites say) on the residential 20Mb broadband, I get a maximum of 3.5Mb during the day, dropping to nearly 1Mb during peak times, did the same tests with my 10Mb business broadband, bang on 10Mb, downloading at a maximum of 1.29MegaBytes a second, this I class as getting what I am being charged & paying for!
I just did another speedtest, and considering that I am doing a bit of down&uploading on my other desktop PC, this is the results I got:
Normally my pings are never higher than the lower 20's at most, with a high majority of them being around 15-19ms.
So all in all, is paying an extra £10 a month more than the 20Mb for 10Mb worth it? to me the answer is YES, and so far I cannot fault the speeds, can max out my connection anytime of the day or night, and all this is WITH going through a wireless router!
Bring on the 20Mb upgrade I say, totally happy with NTL:Telewest Business Broadband!! (shame residential bb dont follow suit!)
