I used to be on AOL and let me tell you, switching to telewest was the best thing I had done in a long time, It took a good while for me to get connected though as there was a lack of communication on their behalf like re-booking my connection time because of problems and not telling anyone, apart from that its been a lot better than that other crap.

That's as high as an upstream can go, it's impossible for them to go any higher due to overheads
well you could still play on line but your ping would be **** poor
