512/256. The fastest ADSL connection you can get for under ?100 (which is a rediculously high price for a 1mbit connection) |

cable doesn't do most regions though, which is the problem. BT could lower the prices and erradicate all cable companies, but the fucking court of european wankers has forbidden them from doing so and kept the prices artificially high. It's strange though, i've heard a lot to the contrary about blueyonder, the people who can get having nothing but contempt for them. They have a lot of problems here mayber? |

I started on 512 and that was a night mare for about 6 months or so, the last year has been 99.9% uptime at full speed. It has only been off for a few hours once. A lot of ppl do have trouble tho, and I have to admit the TV is shit LOL I agree that BT could clean up if they were allowed to drop prices. |

You stuck with any kinda limit? I know NTL now has a limit, and I have heard some ppl say BT has a limit, and some say they dont, so fuck only knows LOL BY constantly say they have no plans to introduce a limit, so until they do I will keep upping at 28K all day long on the mule LOL |

man, i get 40 down, 25 up. i'd switch to something else, if i hadnt paid up 2years in advance. The internet is not to popular in my area, i think its the fastest they offer. say, do you guys base the speed on what mule says? I use download/upload monitor, an it and the mule rarely match up. mule sometimes says things like 100k up, while dl/ul says its more like 39k |

I limit my up to 25 or it chokes my connection to death LOL My official down is 128K, but on a good day I can have mule downing at 180K+ for several hours at a time. Averages to about 80 or so. |

I'm with BY & I can use 30k up in eMule, no problem. I'm usually downloading something strange and rare, but when we had the screener-fest earlier in the year, I got over 100k downloads most of the time, without affecting uploads. I always get over 100k when I get something from NG too. Perhaps I'm just lucky? /me touches wood

I can up at 30 too, but it gets a bit messy sometimes if I am downloading at full speed. |
