I unfortunately can't get cable in my area :(

I'm pretty happy with what I've got now though.

Ah,

That is unfortunate, keep your eyes open as Virgin Media are always expanding their cable network.

To be honest though, if you've got a BT line I would come off Virgin media's ADSL, BE Broadband give you 24 Megs unlimited download for £17.50

BE offer the fastest ADSL service in the UK, on Five news last week they did a test of broadband providers and only BE (O2) and Virgin Media's cable offered the rated speed.

BE also offer the fastest upstream speeds in the UK for commercial broadband too.
