Thanks you all for the responses.
I am also looking forward to better speed broadband as currently I am a bit far from the exchange office and thus cannot benefit the full 2Mb connection that Demon is offering me. I instead get about 1.2 Mb. It is also good to know that there is no traffic shaping and port filtering for the time being as I do use a lot of VoIP to talk to my folks back home.
The 10Mb is very tempting but I doubt the Financial Manager (my wife) will approve the added cost
Cheers
