They are still behaving in the same way but now they are just one Company amongst many. I expect the penny will drop eventually but by that time it might be too late.
Judging by the problems people are having with low speeds after the doubling the rush to keep ahead of BT may come back to bite them.

Also, old isolators (ones with 2 ports) are old and out of date, a new one can give you an extra 10meg
Signal and power levels are fine, I have a black drop cable, previously speeds have always been fine since install, no dropouts or rebooting. Currently it's back at 100+ but upload is still capped at 2.7 Mb/s. I only upgraded to 100 Mb for the extra upload, I was quite happy with the 50 Mb download speed.
I would get Infinity now but when I had ADSL I was always having problems with the line between home and the pole even though BT had strung a new line with the introduction of ADSL.
