unfortunately ony a few exchanges go live at the end of march.
iirc mine is in august
although we should get high speeds as currently my stats suggest it can take 8mb/s already w/out the update.
lots of ppl are having speed problems accross uk atm, possibly due to BT's work on the exchanges.
regarding the upload speed... yeah a pain sometimes, cant even host a decent game with 256 upload. but it goesa long way to preventing piracy. imagine everyone with 8mb/8mb connection.
i can get SDSL in this area for a symmetrical connection but the prices are ridiculous.
hehe those lucky gits in sweden, 100/100 connections
