Rather than selling folk 40 or 50Mb broadband it would be better for all if the network was improved to deliver the advertised rate ALL of the time.
That about sums it up for me. I'm on an "up to 8mb download speed" , yet i'm lucky to get a tad above 1mb due to being 2 miles from the telephone exchange and dear old BT throttling the lines. My neighbour upstairs has cable broadband and is getting 20mb's constant..... I'd wager that for most of us it's not much use to have over 5mb's, if it really is that and constant. Gamers and professionals will need superfast connexions, but the mean in the street ? Nah....
