It's only supposed to be a 1 meg connection, so these results aren't too bad. We're paying £14.99 per month for it, but the advantage is that it is genuinely uncapped. No matter how much we use it, we don't get the "bad boy" letter as long as we avoid downloading stuff at peak times.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

As far as I know, that will be about the level of contention. There's a maximum level of contention guaranteed on BT Wholesale ADSL packages, but it is 50/1 which means that on an 8 meg connection, the most you are guaranteed is 163kb/s or about 20 KB per second. Sucks, doesn't it?

Normally your connection won't be anything like that bad, but that's all that is guaranteed.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
