Its obvious to all that the UK broadband infrastructure is not set up to cope with current and future demand generated by the likes of BBC iplayer or You Tube.

I often hear stories on the net and in the local community of people with 2mb or up to 8mb connections but getting only sometimes dial up speed. A mate of mine is on Pipex and he's had poor speeds for months, and he's about to take them to small claims court for failing to provide the advertised service. Of course the script monkeys at Pipex blame everyone and everything but themselves, but we all know the truth.

I use an enta.net reseller Aquiss as my ISP, I pay £24.99 a month, a lot of money for a broadband connection, BUT I do get guaranteed decent up to 8mb speeds 24/7 on a managed service and if I get a problem, I can call them any time and I will get a human being with a brain on the phone who will always do their utmost to solve the problem rather than pass the buck as most other larger ISP's do.
