Urgh, Sky. Not only an outpost of the pustulous Murdoch empire, but damned poor quality too. A while back, realising they could only supply us with a fairly tepid DSL offering, I nudged the roomie/landlord into VDSL. Only BT, rather than one of the really nifty ISPs, but - other than a nearly disastrous hiccup with installation (the contractor couldn't find the kerbside box at first, but after I stressed how important a good connection was to me, as I worked from home, and dealt with large video files routinely, he agreed to take me along to have another look. We found it =:), it's been quite satisfactory. No throttling we've been able to detect, no traffic caps, and instead of around around 6Mbits down/600Mbits up, we're now around 5Mbytes down/700Kbytes up. =:D (Whilst I can't recommend having one's phone pole felled as a means of upgrading the wiring, it did afford a modest boost as well =:)
