    yay 3MB here I come

    Not that the 2MB I have isn't fast enough, extra speed for free is good.

    Shame they can't get something that competes with Sky+

    10Mb/sec down on this side of the pond...

    That's awesome that they're giving customers more for their pound though.

    Really? I know people in the US still on 28.8k\sec on some dodgy through-the-phonelines stuff.

    Is net access in the USA generally pretty good then? Fast & cheap?

    Yes. Most yanks have more bandwidth than our ISP's
