Ah well I have a B.T phone and so it doesn't seem to have been a problem to be honest. I only get BB from VM, I wouldn't dream of paying them for any other services as I wouldn't trust them to be able to always deliver them to me based in the BB service I get.

As examples, Plusnet give an estimated speed, B.T give an estimated speed, B.E gave an estimated speed. They all gave roughly the same estimation of at least 7-8meg stable. Plus they all spelt out exactly what can affect speed. Oh and Sky did as well. I have had good recommendations about Sky from friends (I already get SKY Tv). Plus SKY are one of the few who don't have download limits in place.
