I couldn't agree more. I still have a cable modem connection (temporarily) that I can use to compare (not really motivated to do so though) and one thing I did notice is the increase in speed on my 802.11b wireless laptop. (I'm ordering a new laptop in a few days so I'll be upgrading to 802.11g soon, I imagine...)

One thing to remember that the author of that article failed to see -- Comcast can up the bandwidth but so can Verizon. Unless Comcast pulls fiber to the house, Verizon will end up winning the bandwidth war. All I can say is, competition is a good thing!

My new ADSL2+ connection to Be Broadband was activated last night



I'm getting 14 meg download and 1.3 meg upload (theretical max is 24mb download - but you have to live in the exchange).



It's only available in Birmingham and London at the moment, but is being slowly rolled out (I think Manchester is next).



(If anyone else in the UK is thinking of signing up PM me. I can refer you which gets us each 1 month free)
