Wasn't there a thread recently where they were going after viewers of pron for damages for copyright infringement ?

I get 14 Mbs from bog-standard broadband. I suppose that's enough for two people to stream HD video at the same time, though I'm not sure we've ever done that. What benefit would even faster broadband give me?

Yes 16Mb ADSL here, so that's part of the reason I've never bothered. But then my upload is a miserable 512K/s, and that's a pain when uploading stuff to dropbox etc. The 10Mb upload of fibre would make using cloudy stuff much more realistic.

I had a letter a few months ago from the company that does the ben dover stuff. Hadnt even downloaded that.

I'd love for somebody to explain what all of the different sections of the sequence are for.
There's one bit where the volume seems to increase gradually, WTF is that for? Check the other end can hear it properly?

But as already mentioned - you can easily stream it in HD without needing fibre.

I get about 7mbps on my ADSL in the valleys, it seems to the job though I do wish they bump the speeds up to 16mbps. I don't think there's much chance of them putting fibre in up by me though, still one can hope as a guy I worked with had 130mbps and he lives in Luton of all places!

I don't think that would make up for living in Luton though!

14Mbps down, 1Mbps up on Sky Broadband here. I rarely download anything more than 20Mb which is the work of moments; uploading is more of a pain as uploading a 50Mb demo to FTP is a PITA.
The only times I really think "fibre would be nice" is when I have to clone a git repo or download an image for Windows/Office from MS.
