I've just got 160MB Infinity and using speedtest.net I'm getting up to 200MB or more on my PC (wired into the router) (speed will be capped at 160MB at some stage in the future, apparently).

Wifi speeds throughout the house are a lot slower than that,though, but to be honest I'm not sure what sort of speeds my laptops and mobile devices could cope with anyway. BBC iPlayer on the big flatscreen has been pretty good, though - and certainly better than when I was with 02 (rated 18MB).

The only problem with BT was that they finished the work and left without testing the other phone sockets in the house (simple things like, see if the phones can actually make and receive phonecalls - not exactly 'rocket science with a clipboard'). But although I complained the next day, they couldn't record a fault because the job was still showing on their system as 'in progress'! (Cliche alert: you couldn't make it up.) And it took about two-and-a-half weeks for the status to be changed to 'Completed' - and only then could I register a fault and get an engineer back in! They all work now, at least.
