NTL can manage about 500k off peak and about 20-50k peak.
Be network is better, but probably less busy at the moment.
Really to save money as went for all three phone broadband and internet.Dam those electric bills in uk.Don't really matter what time of day it is really still don't get 10meg.It's like waves up and down with spikes one second you get 8meg then it go down to 5meg.Then maybe it pecks at 10meg then down to 5meg.Like that all the time.Never had a connection like it.Had broadband for years had 1meg and got 1meg all the time,Had 2meg got 2meg connection speed all the time.Had 18meg got 18meg all time.I think that they too many of us on too few connections not enough bandwith.
