Depends on which "speedchecker" I use.
Can vary from 6Mb/s to 30Mb/s for upload and download, simply by swapping checkers.
Somebody is telling lies.

BT Infinity Broadband gives me on average 38M download and 18M upload. Useful for my web site updates!
36mbs down, 9mbs up, 10ms ping.
I still maintain that once you have an "acceptable" speed (currently) it makes little if any difference to the web experience. A 6mb pdf still usually takes a couple of seconds to download, and bigger files longer from most sites. Its the sites hosting the info that are the bottleneck at the moment as I see it.
BT's spiel for pushing fibre was "you'll get your winning bid in on ebay quicker".

We get about 62Mb down and 2Mb or so up.
It's supposed to be upgraded for free to 100Mb down at some point.
The worst part of most packages is the fair usage policy that they implement and try oh so hard not to tell you about. The BT infinity stuff is horrible. You get limited to some relatively small amount of bandwidth per month and if you over step your usage (something you can do in like 10 minutes at full download speed if you actually get 100Mb), then it remains painfully slow for the rest of the month. We're talking like throttling it back to 1 or 2Mb from your full line speed.
We're with Virgin and their fair usage policy is done on a day to day basis. So if you decide you want to download more, then you can, without it affecting anything but that days performance. Then there's the fact that they only throttle you down by about 10% anyway, in stead of 98%.

Amazing what you chaps in Europe have. Here is provincial USA I have 30 meg down - 5 meg up at home. And I pay extra for that speed.
The thing with BT and data limits is that its dead easy to get around. Just log out of your network connection and reconnect using your own BT Wi Fi with FON connection. OK, so you only get around 4mbs but there are no limits.
Are you talking about Mbps or MBps
Big difference some parts of Australia we get
103down/40up Mbps on cable or fibre

Some people are saying MBPS and some saying Mbps just wanna know does everyone mean Mbps

b=bits
B=Bytes
8bits=1Byte (as Mooly's equivalence says)
To make their internet connection speeds look good, all the providers specify in bits.
And yet our computers are generally specified in bytes (B).
ROM = GB
RAM = GB
HDD = GB
File size = kB
