considering it's only 512k thats not a bad result, proximity to london probably helps i guess.

Just tried it now (while watch CBeebies at 0830 with 3 kids),

That's more like it!

I am paying BT for the privilege of 8MB broadband.

And if I look on BT Hub Manager page:

Broadband connection details:
Downstream 7,424 Kbps
Upstream 448 Kbps

I guess the BT speed is between my house and the exchange (about 1.5 miles away), after that, it depends on how much traffic is on the rest of the internet.

The line between my house and the exchange (pair of copper wires) is my "personal driveway" and the rest of the internet is the "motorway" I suppose!

What annoys me is that Virgin make you think you have a fibre optic line going to your house (going by their marketing), when in reality it is copper wire, with fibre optic used between cities.
