You people will slowly realise BT are a pile of shit. I had an 8MB connection with them for about 5 years and they throttle to feck during most of the day. Switched to O2 and am getting 17mb with no limits.

BT and SKY tell me I could get 4.5 MB... I am only on the SKY Base (Free) 2MB and max out at 1.78 MB.

Debating whether to bother upgrading.
