It's what I need, but it's not what I can afford! Some of us in the UK are still on 1mb connections. I'm on Virginmedia's 4mb connection (through their fibre optic lines) and recently it's been seriously S-L-O-W. We have 3 PCs and 1 PS3 on our home network, but usually only the PS3 is on. I notice it runs a little faster if it's connected directly. To be honets 4mb seems no faster than 1mb, yet I'm paying more for it.

There was a report recently in the UK on the radio saying most broadband providers aren't hitting anywhere near the speeds they claim. Even taking into account ADSL substation distances and all that crap, they're just out to make money.
