I imagine some Link Institute members can provide some data on their 
experiences of actual delivered bandwidth from various sources?

My impression, sitting on my 1Mbps ADLS is that 256Kbps is a fairly 
common experience of delivered bandwidth to end-users.


[Aside:  TPG says that they are about to upgrade me to ADSL2, at 
their choice not mine, at a time of their choosing, with what appears 
to be extremely poor planning, extremely poor client communications, 
and ongoing slow response to enquiries and complaints.  Heaven knows 
what will happen in the next few days ...]
