haha, how did I know someone would mention that. You don't think they supply up to 50meg just to make websites load faster do you

To be serious though (aside from the fact I don't see anything wrong with grabbing a show from a channel I pay Sky for anyway!) is that it should be half decent at 2am. I would hope that when a lot of people are asleep they can provide reasonable speeds in my area, but apparently not.

South Manchester is reknowned for being over subbed with all the students. It's a shame there isn't some kind of ombudsman checking for how many people they take on, compared with the quality of service they give. They are knowingly selling 20meg on the cheap knowing damned well it can't possibly be maintained in the area I am in.

I've heard the "up to" sympathisers before. But up to should have a bare minimum. 200k isn't acceptable in anyones book.
