I am now on 1536/256 ADSL, but I am soon going to 512/512 so I can P2P more, specially with other mates using my ISP.

amsd.. i doubt you will get your full connection speed, i have 1024/256 and i dont get the full amount yet a BW speed test tells me that i have a good connection and what i am drawing is spot on???? :?

NTL tell me thats also right so i guess it must be, i have known ppl get pretty much what there connection is and others that have got nowhere near,

hope u can sort things out tho, dunno if this is where u posted about you con. probs but i remember reading it somewhere :lol: i would have replied straight away but for some unknown reason i was unable 2 post most of yesterday same as grinch

50.6k isn't too bad, you'll never connect at 56k, it's unheard of.
When I had 56k, about the best I got was 54k, usually it varied between 44 and 52 though.

1Mbit/128k cable

cheapest package they offer with the exception of the 256k pos they have (thats almost as bad as dialup)

I wouldn't mind if i had the connections they have at college though, 10Mbit on one line, 2-20Mbit (varying rate) on another line, and a load of backup ADSL lines just in case something should break... oh well, i can dream :D

I had cable but the provider was evil. I now use DSL for the time being.

BOOZY - UKOnline offer 8 meg DSL in the UK. If you're not in one of their 8 meg areas, they can still offer you at least 2.
