    If you are interested in connection speeds, then there was a poll on the Hexus front page not so long ago: http://www.hexus.net/includes/polls_...BvbGxfSUQ9NDk=
    "Well, there was your Uncle Tiberius who died wrapped in cabbage leaves but we assumed that was a freak accident."

    Swedish
    10Mbps unlimited (£24.33/month), or 100Mbps with a 300Gb/month default limit (£45.24/month - can purchase extra if required).

    I've definitely become acclimitized to the Swedish way of life - my mail from the UK is redirected for a few months yet, and I couldn't help but smile at the Bulldog spam which arrived with "Superfast 4Mbps ADSL"
    8Mbps ADSL is pretty much residential standard here, if you can't get cable which guarantees 10Mbps and offers 100Mbps if your building happens to be fiber-connected.

    I never thought the day would come when 8Mbps would be too slow (I am on 1Mbps and it sometimes seems slow -particularly annoying with slow servers which I try to download from- but 100Mbps. That's just delicous.

    ....sorry - I rarely see 3Mbps. But I never look at cable either!

    Indeed shame it's AOL. ..... I assume not enourmously fast download as other ends servers aren't that fast (particularly if a busy site).

    Imagine his gaming ping!

    Paul, what's your upload speed?
