Meh I used to have a VM connection at 50mbit but have just moved house to a none VM area and have BT with a conneciton at 10mbit down with no BT Infinity date set in my area yet. To be honest Telfordcable, compared to other people in the UK you have never had it so good. I'd be quite happy with a 30mbit or 20mbit connection DOWN never mind 60 mbit or 120mbit.

As for the upload speed isn't there restrictions based because of the cable tech. If I remember rightly cable was originally meant for mainly downstream with small upstream and the restrictions could be based on the fundatmental underlying tech. I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.
