So 20% are on 10Mb and 20Mb?
what's the average speed an O2 ADSL person is on would you say? considering that it's a copper connection and not fibre optic I'd hazard a guess of around 7Mb?

Be. top possible speed has got to be around 22Mb if you live in the exchange and again is a copper connection and not fibre optic. (Virgin tell us that copper is useless remember) I'd say the average speed was again around 7Mb.

So we have
Virgin - 10-20Mb FIBRE OPTIC - 6.13Mbps average speeds obtained
02 - 7Mb COPPER - 5.32Mbps average speeds obtained
Be - 7Mb COPPER

Virgin won by just under 1Mb. you're right the speeds are very good for 20Mb fibre optic
