Below is a selection from our customers connect speed stats.
Note that none of the BT customers gets above 31200 and none of the
Telewest customers get below 31200.
We get our PRI from Telewest. Now am I just paranoid or does BT somehow
deliberately throttle back the bandwidth in a connection they pass over to
a rival telco?
