After having 0.48mbps for about 3 years, I love anything over 1mbps

There were times when I had 0.12, and it was barely enough for browsing

So yeah, 7 is awesome. 2 years ago I did do a speed test at a mates house on virgin fibre optic (on a saturday), and it was 12mbps. Them being technophobes, it just felt a total waste, as they were just browsers in general

I was waiting for you to say that you had 50mbps, cos I was on the info that Holland has some of the fastest speeds around
