It's all good, I am very happy and content with 152mbits. I know people think more is better but 152mbits is quite ample for me atm and with regards to the file size vs bandwidth proportionality we were talking about the other day, my speed has increased quicker than file sizes have over the last couple of years. I like the fact that the bandwidth is there if I need but truth be told, it will run at full whack for 8 mins or so in the morning while I download 3 or 4 files, it will probably run full whack uploading for an hour or so after and then run at 10% for the rest of the day. I knew when they first announced 152mbits that it would be more than I needed but I just like knowing it is there. A perfect example would be something like Steam. They had a cracking sale on over the weekend and one of my friends wanted me to get a game which was £6. Because it was an impromptu purchase I didn't have time to leave it downloading and come back to it later, I needed it doing there and then so I could play it immediately and at 15mb/sec I was able to play it after a quick wee and run downstairs for a drink. I am sure we all love the idea of having a gigabit connection just because it sounds so amazing but there is just no need for that kind of speed 24/7.
