I am currently trying out Be with a view to ditching VM, being in a similar situation to you. I already dropped to 10meg on VM because 20meg is pointless thanks to STM and the very limited upload speeds.

You would certainly be better off changing to ADSL. Even if you live a long way from the exchange and only get say 10 meg down and 1 meg up, that's still faster than VM, costs the same as VM's 2 meg package and is truly unlimited with no STM or caps on Be. Better ping times than VM too.
