Well, my van might not be here but 21st Century internet has arrived!
What to do with all this bandwidth?!

You can finally stream services without massive buffering. Going to seem normal in next to no time though.

I remember thinking 'what am I going to do with all this memory' when I bought one of these from my paper-round money!

At last, that wasn't much trouble was it?

We have full fibre available here now and I was tempted when talktalk put the prices up a couple of months ago but I had thoughts in my head of no internet at all so I'm waiting until the current contract is up and I can get them both running before I cancel the original one.

The wait was eased somewhat by Vodafone installing 4G up the hill so in parts of the house I can get about 30Mbps over a mobile router and pipe that into the home network.

Having got it installed I've just got my first bill....which doesn't have the £8pm 'standard' discount that was on my order confirmation.......
Speaking to the BT 'exec' complaints man tomorrow and also to my MSP.

So. Speed seems to have settled at 900-930Mbps down and 100-110Mbps up:
and £775 credit to my bill.

Be interesting to hear how you find it longer term, if you've just shifted the bottleneck down the line a bit somewhere behind the speed test.
