O o O oo

I think you always get a lower speed if you have multiple PC's on the same connection.

But, no matter what these companies offer as speed, unless you live in the exchange you don't normally get what they say.

back home i only had 1.2mb/s and that was on bt's upto 20mb/s. The only positive from having that package was unlimited internet downloads.

cant even get infinity yet :P may get over 3mb/s if im lucky!

I would imagine your not able to be connected to the fibre cabinet to give you access to infinity, as already said if you live in the exchange you can get the advertised speed, but you always get a lower bandwidth the further away you are and the condition of the cable your connected too.

the good lands, the bad lands, the any where you may want me lands

on BT infinity here, and receiving on average 26.9 MB download speed, though with 4 users on the one router the drain can be quite annoying. Still a lot better than our previous BT broad band connection

Although you are near, does not mean you are on the same exchange.
