Interesting read.

(Wonders off to check O2 web site, see what our provider is offering, if anything.)

IIRC, O2 offer ADSL2+, thus 'up to 24Mbps'.  What do you get?

In reality, wifi is likely to bottom out around 15-30Mbps, depending on how many other wifi users around your area.

So, as I believe you only use wifi, you may not see a worthwhile benefit. So may not be worth paying the extra for it.

Does that make sense?

Connection Type: Wifi
Server: Maidenhead
Download: 3.94 Mbps
Upload: 0.82 Mbps
Ping: 33 ms

Yep, perfect sense.
O2 appear to be the only provider capable of supplying more than 1meg without flooding the line with errors. Given the low average of those providers (sky, orange, bt)generally, we are happy enough with O2. Support seems good tbh. One ring, straight through to an English speaking human. No options list or dead end cul de sac in Bombay.

chrisgixer - slap your phone number into the BT Infinity availbility site, see if its available, and guesstimated speed (all FTTC providers should be able to provide similar speeds), then see if its worth the effort.

I would imagine Mrs CG would benefit from FTTC broadband.
