Maybe the UK has nothing going for them but I certainly do here in the US...
Im sure you can get more than that in the UK. It's just mainly businesses purchase the higher bandwidth lines.Quote:

Sorry if I sound ignorant here, but here in the UK the max you can get is 2mb broadband.
That is a fifth of what you have quoted.
Wow.:p
Vampiel...I just did your test above for cable in Oregon and the first time ws a little dissappointing to me compared to the rest of Oregon.
I just did it again and it showed an 30 percent increase or so ( est.) This verifies the fact that your speeds are fairly relative at times and fluxuate. The cable guy explained to me that even down the street..someones speed could be faster. Wholely depends on where you live.
Also, what is T1 ? thats a level up from cable heh?
T1 - A digital transmission link with a capacity of 1.544 Mbps. T1 uses two pairs of normal twisted wires, the same as found in most residences. T1 normally handles 24 voice conversations, each one digitized at 64 Kbps. But, with more advanced digital voice encoding techniques, it can handle more voice channels. T1 is a standard for digital transmission in the United States. T1 lines are used to connect networks across remote distances. Bridges and routers are used to connect LANs over T1 networks. There are faster services available. T1 links can often be connected directly to new ***s and many new forms of short haul transmission, such as short haul microwave systems.
T3 - A term for a digital carrier facility used to transmit a DS-3 formatted digital signal at 44.746 megabits per second
OC3 - Optical Carrier 3: an optical fibre line carrying 155mbps; a U.S. designation generally recognized throughout the telecommunications community worldwide.
