But aren't you a country bumpkin living out in the sticks?
I'd swap suburan life for country surroundings in a flash.

Give SKY a ring mate, AOL run off traffic management policy so they slow speed at peak time but SKY don't so it'll b a bit better, where the speed ur getting is relatively done on distance no matter who u really go to when it's done through the telephone line ur looking some what the same speed, unless u go fibre. U can go sky.com an do ur own check for speed an what's available

+1 for Sky
I have been with them for 4 years, v rarely had any problems.
Did have a router fail, but they couriered a new one to me next day.

Plus net are fine for me on fibre (40 down and 5.6 up) so can't complain. Although it is traffic shapped a bit to prioritise surfing at night but you can't really tell.
