8MB Adsl.
cable 10 Mbit - down, 27 Mbit - upload speed .
2 mbps... not too much but reasonable
I've comcast conn broadband internet 12mbps speed
100/100 mbit
I have 4 mb internet connection
Cable.
6M/1M here, a bit slow.
10mbps which sounds great untill you hear its with virgin, when its running its great then they do something called bandwidth shaping, which drops the speed to 1/5 the speed for 5 hrs.
This works in 2 tiers,10am till 3pm then 4pm till 9pm, this is how it works
if you d/l 3gig in the morning (10am till 4pm)you get punished for 5 hrs, then if you d/l 1.5 gig in the evening(4pm till 9pm) you get punished for a further 5 hrs.
Worst of all you still have to pay full price for this service,they do not shape your monthly subscription because they can't provide a full working 10 meg connection.
WELCOME TO RIP OFF BRITAIN-If it looks like a turd,and it smells like a turd,most likely its a british broAdband provider.
