Fibre (to cabinet) has been a godsend for us.. (Talktalk).. 30 download all the time. Funnily enough the box in the house is bT branded and was installed by bt. MrsTT negotiated a great deal...
In Hull I've cancelled my broadband and just tether - but they've just wired up my road for fibre to the router.... Up to 100 both ways if you want to pay..
