I just moved to London and I have BT ADSL. I get average 50K download and 25K up. They say this is normal...seems slow to me. Anyone get better speeds or recommend another ISP?

You should get around 500k down... but downloading a single file is sometimes around 50k for other reasons...

it depends on the contention ratio, home user accounts are usally 50:1 with a 512k download, that means your sharing that 512k with 49 other users hence the 50kish downloads. Business accounts will be faster and a lower ratio, something like 20:1.

yep... and in a lot of London you can't get cable... so it's just the BT ADSL monopoly...
