So how is this package doing?

Not JUST M, but M, TV XL & phone.

When the "internet weather" is good, it will do a flat out 2Mb - about 243-246 KB/s, though the 350 MB shaping limit will knock you back to 1Mb.
PS. This is through a cranky old PACE 1000 STB, at one time not reckoned to be good for over 1Mb anyway - needs to be rebooted about once a week.

If they use cablemodem or Samsung now, reliability would be better.

Thing is, with the phone for £11, do you get the free TV M as well?

Otherwise, if its Phone + 2Mb BB for £15.50 (and rising after a year) then it compares unfavourably with Phone + ADSL deals if you have a BT line available.

Really no point in Broadband M being individually priced at £18, when you get it with Phone and "freeview channels" TV for £20
