Not worth it to me. More important is the BB speed with 2 teenage daughers both seeming to constantly to stream youtube videos whilst on facebook. It kills xboxlive live for me when I was on the 4 meg. The 50 eats it for breakfast plus I can limit a download to 25meg and still not have my service crippled.
I agree it very much depends where you live but on the other hand if, like me, you live in an area that benefits from very good ADSL speeds Sky Broadband can be excellent for upto 20mb customers simply because it isn't traffic managed so if you are a heavy user a decent 15mb line like I can achieve can be better than VM's XL broadband.

I know I am in the minority though.
