And why do you think you will get a better speed?

BT's throughput at the ISP level isn't too bad.  The bottleneck will be sync speed or exchange congestion, which changing ISP will make bugger all difference.

well something has changed
I changed from isdn to adsl a number of years ago and my ping to a gaming server went from 90 to 350
took 9 weeks for them to admit the problem was on their network
that said it was a while ago and i am sure things must have improved  as there still in the game  but having said that so are tiscali  pfft

On my BT (BT Business Broadband) line, I get a 6.3Mb sync (about 1.5m from exchange), and around 600kBps download from my test server (lowering to as low as 100kBps at peak times) - I don't pay too much attention to popular online speedtesters - ISPs are getting wise to them ;)

Hard to tell what I get off the Zen line due to all the services, inc OOF, I have running over it.

Virgin 2Mb cable.

Maidenhead server is rubbish from here. Ireland and Faroe Islands usually spot on.  :y
