I've just got back from a friend who is "supposedly" on XL and while there ran a speed test for him from the link on this site.
It returned a speed of 5.3Mbps
Say's it all! BTW does anyone know the contention rate on VM?

I doubt you are really on 1:1 contention whatever you might have been told
As for VM contention ratio, it depends on the architecture of the network. i.e. Which legacy company built it as this dictates some of the node sizes and hence the number of customers served per port.. But in general it would be between 30 & 50:1
