    Whatever speed you get, you'll get quite used to it and soon you'll want even more speed!

    I think 2 Mbps seems to be pretty standard ATM, even for fixed wireless. I wouldn't recommend much less than 1 Mbps up and 256 kbps down for a good experience.

    I'm on 6mb NTL which has been allocated 6557kbit of bandwidth (tested using a cable tester).
