[Minder]

Getting messed about by BT and thinking of switching as I am an O2 customer so get it cheaper. Read good reviews regarding their customer services. Anyone got it?

[flog the lot]

Cheers Skull, had a quick look. A bit pricey, cheapest package is £17.61 with a £46 activation fee.

I have it, nearly a year now.  It's been excellent, can't fault it.  I dont know what your speed would be like but I get unlimited downloads and speed of 16meg for tenner a month (I've o2 phone). 
Set up was really quick, done in days!, and completely idiot proof.  I've never had dealings with the customer service though as I've never had a problem.

serious question...

What benefits in practice are to be gained by these speeds (eg 16mbps).

Streaming porn is Minder's case.

You don't say Einstein   

And maybe you could tell me how you actually benefit from this extra speed compared to a typical 1-2mbps link?

Downloading, watching videos etc is a lot easier and faster.
Much better for playing on xbox live also!
