As an fyi the reason why you can get more than 70mbits on a 70mbit connection is because of how VM provision you. There are different factors which affect your speed and the chances are that if your max speed is 70mbits, you will probably get 65 ish. The problem is that from a legal point of view and advertising if VM advertise (or any other isp) an "up to" connection speed then you have to be able to achieve it. To this end they actually set your connection up and a slightly higher speed so that they can make sure you can get 70mbits. I don't know what this is for the 70mbit tier but probably somewhere around 76 or 78mbits. I am on the 350mbit tier but my connection is provisioned at 402mbits so I actually get 378mbits all the time.
Could you please advise DSL suppliers of this?
