I take it that this is a guaranteed speed - hence the cost.

When I went to Be all they said was that I could EXPECT a speed of 16Mbps so far they have done better than that! Up until recently I was a cable customer before Nynex. C&W Telewest etc. and before the advent of broadband, or even the internet.

Everything was as sweet as apple pie until the advent of Virgin Media, Then everything went downhill which is why I jumped ship and went to be, the best move I ever made!

Even on here whilst I was a VM customer techs were saying there was something wrong, I'd had engineers round on several occasions after paying for the phone call.

In all the time I was paying for a 20Mbps connection I never reached more than 12Mbps and that was a one - off the average was nearer 6Mbps and I still have the records to prove it.

Rant over!

this is the high speed STM's connection i have at the moment from VM's 20 meg service
