8 Meg

So Bulldog finally got around to activating our broadband today, and fair play: the delay wasn’t actually their fault. BT had put us down for a number change for some unfathomable reason, hence our line being disconnected for a week, hence not having broadband either. But it’s all sorted now, and both our machines (Lauren’s PC, and my PowerBook) are connected wirelessly via my AirPort base station.

We’re currently syncing at about 4.7Meg, but we’ll see what we can do to up that. Even just 4-5Meg is plenty for us at the mo. And it’s costing us nothing for the next month, then £17.50/month for the following 5 months. No download/usage caps, and the contract is one month at a time.

Backlist of downloads, prepare to be significantly shortened. Sheercore.

I’ve got Bulldog 8Mb too - I sync at around 5MB. (Central London, about 2k from the exchange.) Amazing performance compared to DSL a few years ago - but they really ought to make it more obvious that you’ll only get 8MB if you live right next door to the exchange, and how rapidly the rate falls with distance.
