Are they? I get 38 down, 8 up on Infinity. I'm hoping BT do something similar!

I was meant to get my ADSL2+ activated yesterday, was still waiting this morning before I went to work... Most likely because it was a Sunday it didn't go live. No VM in my street and no Infinity till at least 01/06/2012 - which was originally 01/12/2011 but got pushed back again  :rolleyes:

oh well got new interwebz arriving at work tomorrow (if BT don't f#ck up again and push it back AGAIN), should be able to live with downloading at work with 100Mb up and 100Mb down, burstable to 1Gb  :cool:  :laugh:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

I've recently noticed by internet connection icon on the bottom right tells me 1Gbps, it used to say 100Mps  :tongue:
I'm finding I would like 10MB upload I'll be happy for them to take 10 off my download sometimes  :laugh:

That 1Gbps is the connection between your PC and  the router, not your internet speed  :wink: Just means you can transfer files on the local network quick than before, if you ever do do that.

Haa I know Jay I was shinning my cock that I've never seen 1Gbps  :tongue:
Anyways I wanted to ask if ethernet cables over 5 meters is worth upgrading to CAT6? I've got CAT5 about 5 Meters in length would it affect the 30MB?
