Wow, I vowed not to go back to Vodafone after the trouble I had with them in the past but that is a fairly convincing argument.

I think I am going to pickup a few PAYG SIM card to test real-life speeds in my area before deciding on my contract renewal plan in June. One thing is for sure, it won't be O2!

It looks like it might be between Three and Vodafone assuming I don't stick with T-Mobile (which I might as if I keep my £10 loyalty at current prices I could get 600 mins, 500 text and Internet for £5/month).

Well...I would never encourage you to push your luck but I regularly exceed 5GB/month and haven't been linched yet

Ping is the time to get to the server and back. The lower the ping the better, generally better for streaming Audio/video and gaming.

Orange France, about 5-6 Mbps down, 1.5-2 Mbps up.

I was with SFR (France) before, 1.5 Mbps down on good days, 0.15 Mbps up.

I guess I'm happy with these results.. Although sometimes the speeds are horrible.

EDIT: Oh and I assume they mean MBit/s and not MByte/s. That speed is btw near our home connection, even though we should be getting somewhere around 24MBit/s at home. Damn you, thompson router!
