sky tried to put a 16mb connection to my line for about 4 months, they said it would not work, they tried 8mb, they said it would not work, i went to orange, they got the net online within a week, although they sucked and the connection speed was pathetic (600k connection on an upto 8mb package, even though my line could handle upto 5.5mb, but thats a whole diff story) so i went to virgin, best move ever, alot faster than orange n more reliable than sky

but thats just my experience, ive had nothing but bother from adsl, but cable has never failed me once.

oh, and Hauzer, 240kbp/s is actually ok for a 2mb line, 2mb is the connection, not the download rate, if you want 2mb download rate, you need a 20mb line (or around that size anyway)
