made the jump
finally got my 2mbit connection from central point sorted, the details were sent out earlier then the line was activated hence my router problems 
but all is well, 5 out of 5 for tech support 2 call backs from them, and there CS gets 4 out of 5 reliable and helpful, now to cancel my NTL

browsing is slightly faster then the 1mbit service with NTL, good download speed 210kb/s im just going to tweak things a little to optimize my download and browsing speeds *likes to tweak his registry :pp
just rang NTL and i told them why i want to cancel, then i got put through to the relavent department, the person in CS relations asked about the service cost speed etc from my new provider he said hes never heard of them :pp , and said 30 days notice and thats it.

Shock !!!!
I have just been round to a m8's from work..... He has the 2mb 20:1 business service from pipex....
Uploading at around 46kb and downloading at about 245kb 
This is the service that I am going to get when I move. He is about a mile from the exchange and I will be nearly next door
Wonder what I will get ????
Cant wait - cant wait - cant wait

Why not by the amount of posts you have you could tell her that you practicly own the site anyway 
And if she doe's put her foot down to hard who better to turn to :pp
It is a lot of money tho' I wonder hown much we will get charged as Jo public for 10Mb and more, when we get it
