You see you throwing up conditions that not every VM BB customer suffers and its only cheaper with Sky if you have all other products with it as well.
I'm currently surfing on my BT ADSL connection - The speed should be at least near 8Mb. Speed test just done:-
Sat, 15 Mar 2008 14:33:01 UTC
Test 1: 1024K took 12825 ms = 79.8 KB/sec, approx 658 Kbps, 0.64 Mbps
Test 2: 1024K took 8183 ms = 125.1 KB/sec, approx 1031 Kbps, 1.01 Mbps
Test 3: 1024K took 9553 ms = 107.2 KB/sec, approx 883 Kbps, 0.86 Mbps
Test 4: 2048K took 21567 ms = 95 KB/sec, approx 783 Kbps, 0.76 Mbps
Overall Average Speed = approx 839 Kbps,
0.82 Mbps
Edit: I don't live far from the exchange at all.
Guess I'll just have to switch to my VM connection if I want the speed because I know I can rely on a consistent overall speed.

You've just done exactly the same thing in your last post, dismissing TBR links with the comment "He hasn't backed anything up. Those links mean jack all. He's provided one or two links - big deal." It's really not worth trying to have a debate if that's going to be your attitude - why not state your reasons why you think he hasn't backed anything up or why you think those links mean "jack all"?

Because as I said - I might be playing by TBR's rules when it comes to VM vs Sky threads.
