Within a given area, is there/could there be, a reliability difference between the 2Mb,10Mb,20Mb services? eg because they use different hardware?
I am quite happy with the reliability of my 2Mb service (plus I have BT as a backup). But I would upgrade if I was sure that the service would not get less reliable.
Last time I had a disconnect was over 2 months ago, which is quite good as I'm on for 5 hours straight 60% of eveniings.
Background: Disconnects from poker tourneys cost real money
PS: My Pipex ADSL connection disconncts for a few seconds about twice per evening. So this shouldn't be taken as a moan about VM reliability.
