just done a speedtest at peak time and its 9.85 mb
If they try to charge me £300 they can pack up and go home!

So if I am in a house that has never had cable will they try to charge? I think not!

Most of the cables round here must be nearly 20 years old! Thats probably why it has all been cut off in the cabs.
