Re: Price difference between 10mb and 20mb.
Still debating if I need 20mb. I properly don't, but it's nice to be able to download things even quicker.
What's the average upload of a 20mb connection?

Actually, My speed seems to go down to around 3/4 mb in the evenings. I wonder if 20mb will improve/stop that?

Anything Between 10 and 15MB, around about 18MB at night and early in the mornings but this soon drops

Re: Price difference between 10mb and 20mb.
Could I take my speed now, as a percentage of the advertised speed, and relate that to what I could expect from a 20mb connection?
I.E If I get 8-9mb on average from a 10mb connection. Could I expect 16-18mb from a 20mb connection?
I really want to ensure I know what I am going to get for the price..
