ADSL 2
 

Getting upgraded next week, anyone else had this, was getting 4/5 meg and they have said I will get nearer 7, will I notice much difference ?

Anyone else got it ?

It depends on the length and the quality of the line from the exchange.

Don't accept the number you get out the box, I was getting 5.5 on first connection, after a few weeks and a couple of tweaks at my end and theirs, I get a solid 9.5.

My mate gets 17-18 meg on Be.

I get a sync of over 17mb on Be and if I'm downloading a popular torrent that does equate to it peaking at an amazing 1.7mb/s.

my 8meg BE is faster than my brother's 24meg BE! it's all about distance to the exchange.

I currently get 27.5Mbps download :D I'm trialling a new bonded service over 4 different ISP's :)

If I could get ADSL2+ speeds then it could be 68Mbps download if each circuit was like boxst's :D

Distance plays its part, though you could be next to the exchange and get less than the guy 2 miles down the road, cables play a big part for that, so does the ammount of users you have on your DSLAM, but in theory you "should" see an improvement :)
