Hmm, It BT tho.
They say 60meg but you probably get closer to 10 lol
I remeber when I had BT's top 8Meg package I got about 2.5 if I was lucky, and it has nothing to do with my line I get nearly 20 on the same line with BE.

BT service is ADSL, whereas Be Broadband is ADSL 2, hence the much higher speeds. BT only goes up to 8MB, and it's rate adaptive, whereas Be goes up to 24, over the same wires, and the rate (excluding any "management" or "restricting" by BE) is stable...

ADSL 2 drops like a stone past 2km, so to get 20Mb he must be pretty close.
That does make BT's 2.5Mb pathetic.I get that way out here - now TalkTalk have LLU'd the exchange.
When it was BT all I got 512mb...

"Homes linked to a fibre-to-the-cabinet network will receive initial speeds of up to 40 MB but BT expects this to increase to 60 MB with new technologies. Those on a fibre-to-the-premises network will see speeds of up to 100 MB."
Up to 100 MegaBytes per second...sure that's not megabits??? A factor of 8 is quite a difference......100MegaBytes per second is 800mBits, the backbone on most fibre networks is only 10Gbit, and in some cases it's 43Gbits/s. It won't take long to hit a bottleneck if they're delivering 100MB/sec, which I have my doubts with anyway.

I must say I missed the bytes/bits error.
Mind you, journalists probably don't know the difference.

I had to do a double-take on that one. I work in Fibre Optics and I thought that the claim was a bit far fetched. There again, how often do journalists and adverts say that things are what they clearly are not?????
