    I signed up to O2 broadband yesterday.

    My current speed is 2056kbs down & 338 kbs up.

    Should i be expecting more?

    Not really. Your speeds will vary between 0 and 3.7Mbps, getting arond 2Mbps is quite good. The speed ion any sector is 3.7Mbps in total, so if there are several users connecting then the speed gets divided among all users. Therefore, you'll only ever get the full 3.7Mbps if you are the only person using it in that particular sector.

    anybody who can get dsl get it BUT DO NOT GET MOBILE IT IS SHI-T

    Very true, that if there is a proper broadband service in your area, then get that. However, mobile is not shit. It is what it is, but it's not broadband. If everyone who uses it, or wants it, knew this, then it wouldn't be such an issue.

    Well, it's not going to set the world on fire but as has been pointed out on this thread, it's misnomer to call it broadband.

    I find they vary depending on where you are. I used my O2 in two relatives' houses which are a mile away from each other. Speeds in one house were really good. In the other, it barely got beyond EDGE.

    I find my O2 slows up a lot in the evenings though not anything near as awful as 3 (let's face it, nothing is as awful as 3 apart from having a red hot poker shoved...) I've a friend who's got Vodafone and he's finding it slower in the evenings now than it used to be. I assume it's because far more people have signed up for these things.
