Thanks for your reply Sephiroth

Yeah the main reason i wanted to jump on the 20meg band wagon is that even with traffic management i hope to get around 5 megs (if i had a aggressive internet session) plus the thresholds are higher on the 20 than they are on the 10. After my post i had realised that many were having a speeding problem (i should have read before i posted. i might hit my head against the wall after my cold is gone lol)

I still haven't unboxed the wireless router that arrived. My intention is to get my PS3 hooked up as well as another PC and hopefully a laptop in the new year (waiting for the January sales). But i didn't realise that intensive upstream activities would have a negative effect upon the downstream.

What did you mean by the "red tape that accompanies packet transmission" and "The Windows calculation doesn't take the overhead into account but it is part of the capacity you are using"
