To reply to james henrys point on sky lead thread and other comments on this one, most of my fripes are with BT and the way long lines are not been dealt with. In terms of contention I have noticed much less of it on adsl, and in terms of sky I expect them to be successful as they always seem to pull things off and they may even have the muscle to make BT do tasks that my current isp nildram cant seem to do. Also with it been LLU it shouldnt fall foul of the BRAS capping system.

I wouldnt rely on ofcom tho james henry to make sure BT arent spinning bad numbers, since the cop out is the product is sold as up to 16meg and if people can get 256kbit then all is well and good. They even allow occasional desynchs as part of the product defenition.
