That's awesome.
I was about to say I have 1.7 meg but a test just revealed that it's actually now nearly 2 meg.
More people going on VDSL making my ADSL faster (really long 5.5Km line). Amazing, never had that speed here before in what, 10 years since we've had broadband.

I currently have Synthetic's Christmas SIM though and although my mast is capped at 30meg (fibre going in now, been up to look at the roadworks tonight so 100 meg soon!! : ), browsing is like lightening. Never ever experienced this here before.
Just upgraded my PC as well. New ASUS board, 8GB DDR3 RAM, fast Pentium and Samsung SSD.
DS page refreshes are like literally instant.
Shows the difference between latency of 3G and 4G.
3G was about 10-15 meg but felt slower than the ADSL on the PC.
As soon as I had 4G that completely changed and browsing was like when I go on my customer's fibre connections.

I do have a bit of a fancy number, just by pure fluke. Is it worth anything? Can I get a boob job?”

Don't lose that number as soon it will be on the best network ever....
Not that I'm biased or anything....
You're in the South West aren't you?
The mast above Totnes (Windmill Hill) that went 4G on the 23rd of December (if ever you did) but still had really slow 3G connected to the old legacy copper backhaul, now, tonight has superfast 3G. http://postimg.org/image/60tygqfzz/
Didn't you say you had a Three SIM in that dual Sim phone you have?
Would be interesting to see if Dartington now has decent Three 3G.
That is the only mast serving Dartington properly from any network.
I am assuming it's now had the MBNL treatment but can't test it.

I'll have a look next time I'm there. I've got an idea it has service but not sure.

I have two numbers from Three. One is a contract the other a PAYG & both are memorable because of repeating pattern or digits. One is of the form 07445 AGAGBB the other 07403 FCCDDD
