There's an ISP offering a 24mb connection (upstream is 1.5mb) for just £24/month. No cap, no strings, nothing. It's positvely nuts.
The downside is that there's not alot of places that have it enabled. I read that you'll most probably be able to get it if you live in London and other cities are to follow.
It's a shame there's a multitude of sites that restrict the download rate but who cares? With a connection that fast, you could host a dedicated Counter-Strike: Source server, be downloading music legally ( ) and even have another PC that hosts your website whilst playing on XBox Live ^^
There's not too much on the website, but here's the link anyway: http://www.bethere.co.uk/

I wouldn't... I pay about $30 for 3mb Cable, including the 3 cable boxes in my house, and I don't recall if we have there phone.
I never wanted to be reminded of 56k again, but looking at this thread, I got all my anger back...

You can get faster for cheaper in Japan apparently.

Yeah, japan has the best network evar.
Back in my days of Stee battalion: Line of Contact, U.S. players could only manage a lag-free game of 3 on 3 (u.k. players had it bad.. but then so did other counties) and if a japan user came into a game with all u.s. peepole, the game would lag horribly.
But a japanese only game can manage 5v5 (max) game perfectly, no lag (seen from videos shots, and wernt lan)
edit: the game had a bad netcode that never had a patch to be fixed.. probibly because it was made mostly for japan (then translated to other languages)
edit: Crap! there goees my 1337ness... :p

A single line
Pio: Jeez, 50mb downstream/ 5mb upstream for around £12 on that site. It's...crazy and upsetting. Then again, it's a small country and doesn't take much upgrading to cover all the populants.
