I got that on sky. Whatever that means in English.

Wouldn't let me up date my other post.

Good to find out who my ISP provider is, company provided.

Still having problems with slow streaming, hence no recent posts.

Do those Asian and Eastern/Northern European countries at the top of the table get a faster service just because they pay more, or is there some other explanation? Anyone know?

I think it's down to the fact, that most of there telecommunication network is fiber-optic, and not cable, like ours. We've had the telephone network longer than most, so our system was old to start with. So our communication company's are reluctant to spend the capital needed to upgrade the entire network in one go, so we end up with varying speeds throughout the regions.

I sometimes think that when providers advertise their service, it is a bit misleading. For example they would tell you that if you pay $x to get Ymb speed, yet you are not getting that actually getting the kind of speed. It is always lower but never really gets high.

The pleasures of living in the countryside........crap internet speeds.

About 2 miles away from the telephone exchange
