Is that the sync to the local exchange and not the sustained download
speed? The sync speed is unlikely to change because its your
connection to something fairly local and not to anything else on the

I'm interpreting it as real life sustained download speed. Whether I
get that, and it's their interpretation, remains to be seen.



I'm not sure how they can guarantee anything but the sync. Any download
is only as fast as the slowest link in the chain which is likely to
outside the control of any ISP.


I'd imagine they mean by some sort of 'speedtest' - they have their own -
