Personally I find the Red/Amber/Green stats on Samknows (these are stats with existing speeds not the 8Mbps services) found at
http://www.samknows.com/broadband/capacity-summary.php a little disconcerting.
If you're a downloader though am sure it'll be all good... so long as you're realistic and aren't expecting to see anywhere near 8Mbit at peak times.
