Have virgin, the thing that annoys me is that although they keep banging on about how fast it is they don't mention how fond they are of throttling, took me 2 hrs on my 100Mb connection to download the latest episode of the Walking Dead in the evening a few days ago! Thinking of moving to BT when it available in my area (Jan 2014 they reckon).

Heehee, ahhh that's so sweet.. I remember them slooooow speeds in the Uk.
I have circa 350-400 Mb download depending on the day and I have no idea what upload as I rarely send anything large enough that its worth monitoring (its says 30-50Mb upload), which is annoying as the advert promised upto 500Mb download and I was hoping for more
