Mine is 5.5 mb and upload speed 0.38 (speedtest.net) that's with BT and havn't had a single problem with them for 3 years now.
Pretty good speed considering where I live.

Says Be, though actually I'm with O2 - they share exchange equipment. That's on the same line that had a best down speed of 3 Mbs with Zen.

I get 1mbps on a 8mb plan - not happy with the speed at all, though it is very reliable.

Virgin Media 10mbit at home, and direct multi-gigabit at the datacentre if that counts 
Oh and 3G mobile broadband which seems nice and speedy, around 2mbit average.

Mines around 5.5. Don't know what it's meant to be though!
Don't know about the office.

At the end of the line.
Theoretically up to 8mb with Tiscal. Through I was warned, accurately, it would be more like 2.5mb in reality, due to being 3 miles from the exchange

Tiscali all well-renowned for throttling bandwidth (i.e. stealing).

I'm supposed to get up to 8MB however I only get around 512/650.
I was without broadband from 1pm until midnight yesterday due to "issues" at my providers end (Entanet). I'll be looking into switching providers very soon.  |

At home, we're using 1mb/s.. It's not that fast but I think it's good enough for surfing net or chatting..

7MB - very happy with it, i only find the extra comes in handy for downloading, the rest of the time there isn't a huge difference.

Did have 20mb with Virgin but was only getting 12mb, so now downgraded to 10mb and my speedtest shows 10mb, which I feel is better value for money!
