Agreed. Thats the only downfall with the UK for a few more months. As said previously, I hear that Virgin are upping their upload speed to the same as the download. So hold your horses for a month or so & ill whip up the 50mb upload also! To save time for uploading content, I usually do the html as its uploading. It works well.

Well, it's legal until BT's phorm gets ruled illegal (which is any day now)....
I doubt it, but if so, as said, they should give myself commission

From what I've learned, the free world telephone calls is something that BT do not want to relinquish, so because all/most operators travel through BT pipes, they don't allow VoIP landline capability, thereby crippling this selling point.
Im paying a special all in price for virgin tv which has every channel, phone & broadband. I suppose it works out to about 30 ish euros for my BB also... BT cannot get 50mb, most are 10 or 20 max as the lines are phone lines & not cable with the same optic wires.
