what kind of speeds do you get? and do they stay consistent throughout the day or near enough

problem is my line can support uptp 8mb so that is a waste of alot of speed there, but as long as i would get 5mb plus i wouldnt mind

Am on an 8meg line and i max out at between 5-6meg, it does drop during busy periods but nothing to the extend of sky, i think the lowest i have ever had is about 4.5meg, you will require to go threw a training period obviously, and you will need to supply your own ADSL equipment because its only 1 month contract, but they have a store and you can ask them to preset it all up for you i believe.

ADSL24 - Welcome Join there forum and ask as many questions as you need to before you join, however i would suggest waiting a week or so for the new packages to come! ill post speedtests this evening if you want?

As Requested ADSL24 19:25pm

Your DSL connection rate: 4896 kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP profile for your line is - 4000 kbps
Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 3732 kbps

My IP Profile is a bit up the left lately, internal wiring issues.. my bad
