    1mb is pretty fast for me (nildram)... cant help but wonder if its worth the huge expense to upgrade to 2mb.. well maybe if i win the lottery , mind you 120k/s isnt a bad download speed. better than 4.2 which i got on my 56k modem

    34mb direct to colts network in london and then onto linx. very good connection. just a bit expensive for me at home. but having a fibre connection in the living room would be nice. also got a 2MB at work as a backup thats alone 1K a month.
