[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1051098, member: 176704"] I doubt you will get much more than a genuine 10-20mbs from any provider other than VM. As for your connection, that's easy to check: if you have a coax cable coming into your house and then to your cable modem (probably a SuperHub 2 or 3) then you are on FTC + coax (as you almost certainly are); OTOH, if there is a "telephone cable" to your modem then you are not. Time to do some"dickering" with VM - and get hold of a copy of today's Sunday Times "Business and Money" supplement as there is an article on this very subject! Also, if BT "Openretch" "fibre" is available in your area then use that as a bargaining chip in the dickering - that's what I did! [/QUOTE]
