Hi guys,

In answer to the question about the TV, you do a get an HD Recorder for free. It has a 320Gb hard drive from what I can make out. With my Fibreband service I get what is essentially Freeview HD (check any Freeview website for the lineup) which is great for a second room or if you don't already have any HD services from Sky or Virgin. The box is by no means as nice or user friendly as the Sky or Virgin boxes but then it is completely free and I can't complain about the picture or sound.

With regards to the speedtest, I 100% agree with you Mr. FibreCityBmth, these sites just aren't setup for these kind of speeds. However if you do the speedtest from London on speedtest.net that seems to get it spot on. Other places like the Northern locations on there fall way short of what I actually get.
