My broadband connection is 4MB uncapped and rarely deviates when using websites that have enough bandwidth.

Maybe I'm just on the wrong exchange, but I just had a look and all Bulldog can offer me is 2MB unlimited broadband. Same with UKOnline and Be won't even sell me anything. Great for the people who do have the choice but I'm not one of them. I wonder if part of the reason cables broadband is slower is the fact they know what proportion of their customers can actually get these services.

I don't exactly live in the middle of nowhere either.

The cable co. has more broadband customers than any other ISP, so that was why I used the term "market leader".
