I wish I could help you out but our main ISP here is Comcast for the fastest speed, then AT&T (DSL) and Earthlink which sucks. LOL. There is dialup but no need to swear. LOL.

20mb, OMFG that would be nice but it's not like you will ever see that. I have like 14 down and 2 up and I only see 800-1.2mb DL and 100-145 UL with Comcast.

You could always give Eclipse Internet a try I've been using them for a few years now without any problems. The only gripe I have is their fair usage of 50Gb download a month, but this only applies between the hours of 9am and 11pm, after that all downloads are not monitored.

These is the speeds that I am getting with them

[Mr_Smartepants]

DSL speeds depend on line quality/distance. Mine sucks. I always recommend cable.

[snakecracker]

I had a look at that ISP and my mum said nah so we are going with virgin.
Thanks for the advice guys!
