I live in a rural area miles from an exchange and all the neighbours have BT broadband. I am consistently getting speeds double to theirs! I never thought I would be able to use iPlayer without that frustrating spinning circle appearing every few minutes, but now I can!
The broadband seems a little pricey, but definitely worth it. Great customer service and the control panel is easy to use and helps you keep track of your usage. I am on an Office package meaning every weekday evening after 8 and all weekend don't count towards your limit, which is great because that's usually when the really intensive surfing is done.
I would recommend them to anyone, but especially those far from an exchange.
