ps, by 2.33mb/s that is actually top wack full speed for 20mg connection, or so i'm led to believe lol
lol - I see now. Looks like you are quoting wrong (loosely "20Mb divided by 8 bits + 1 "parity" bit equates to what you state, which would be around 2.33MB). If not, then it drives a coach and horses through the distance from UBR argument for cable.

I too had a special price of about the same - as a long standing customer. Reduced from over £80.
