Point 2..I'm concerned because the radio show I host needs a good stable connection and if there's too many probs with 10mb... well.. I'm better as I am... aren't I?
Point 3..I'm also considering networking the two computers there are here... (as opposed to switching the connection between the two computers which means giving my partner a long cold hard stare to "hand the ****ing connection over.. NOW!!"  )

Ref Point 1, the speeds will effect (I think) all users from 1-10mbit because you are all on the Same ubr? Its crap at the moment as everybody is Cannig there connections with this new found Speed you see !!
Ref Point 2 - Your on a Home connection, no Guarantee of any service due to the small price you pay. The Hosting of a radio station thingy anyhow is UPLOAD not download (they download it) so you will go from 300k to 500K with new connection and thus be better. Since I have had 10mbit the Upload is Rock Solid @ 500K.
Ref Point 3 - You will be much better off Buyng a Router - just make sure you do not buy a ADSL One. It should have on the back a WAN Port (RJ45) and some LAN Ports (also RJ45), hile your there make sure it supports a 10/100 WAN port, a lot don't and this will restrict yout speed later. I bought Mine at Staples, a Linksys Wireless Router + PCMCIA Card - 54Mbit thing. Works fine and only cost me £50.
