    4MB Broadband

    Bulldog, part of Cable & Wireless is doing 4MB Broadband for around £20. Has anyone here tried it? I am thinking of switching(2MB from BT) but they dont have it in my area yet. Just thought i will ask if anyone else heard about it.

    Thanks.

    Yes you are right its Mbps rather then MB. Well until very recently the fastest Broadband connection you could get for personal use was 1Mbps. Within the past few months the speed has gone up from 512Kbps to 2Mbps, and I didnt have to pay anything extra! Shows what competition does for customer.

    haha thats good. Competition is good. I'm in the U.S., mine was 3Mbps recently and it jumped to 5Mbps without extra costs not bad, but the upload is really slow only 45kBps

    They told us a few years back that our 100 year old copper phone cables wouldn't be able to take anything about 512Kbps. I smell a conspiricy.

    Yeah America better get with it. I don't see why i have to be forced to do conversions. If they don't want to switch then let them do the conversions.
