    Advertised & Actual Broadband Speeds.

    My dad rang BT earlier and they told him our phone would take up to 4M, bit dissappointed really given i'm just about to order 16M broadband, but still, it's only £10pm and they might upgrade the phone line at some point, you never know.

    Advertised & Actual Broadband Speeds.
