sorry didnt mean to hijack this thread

I know, its just infuriating that in this wonderful broadband revolution, everyone is potentially limited, same old story, the dodgy few get away with unlimited access, the legit users get penalised (kinda software protection issue again). Anyroad, My wife has her own connection (due to a bad experience with wireless) using BT, we are probably only 2 miles from exchange, however the max we can get on her connection is that old 512. Sky have offered 2, but with the bad press i have seen on their connection, I decided to stick with Virgin. Virgin offers the best all round speeds but its such a shame that we cant utilise the tech to its max. Whats the point of fuel injection if its governed.
