RUBBISH STATEMENT

I'f your in a cable area and you don't have cable, then you get what you deserve - sub standard internet.

If you're not in a cable area and are forced to use a phone line then it's going to be the case of lesser of evils - avoid sky like the plague. Despite it's reputation, my parents use BT and I must admit it seems very quick, although I haven't any actual figures to give you.

RUBBISH STATEMENT

I'f your in a cable area and you don't have cable, then you get what you deserve - sub standard internet.

If you're not in a cable area and are forced to use a phone line then it's going to be the case of lesser of evils - avoid sky like the plague. Despite it's reputation, my parents use BT and I must admit it seems very quick, although I haven't any actual figures to give you.

I'd say it was spot on, cable is much more reliable than adsl and has much higher possible speeds. I get a rock solid 50mb connection, I can get a 700mb file in under 2 minutes whenever I want. When at my partners the speed varies with a ceiling of 4mb, and it sometimes drops out. Checking the router logs shows several disconnections per week, I dont get that on cable.

Maybe I'm just lucky, but have lived in several houses with cable and will never use adsl unless there is no other choice.
