    Just signed up today for the 25mb broadband and home phone package. We don't play games but would like to be able to watch Youtube clips without waiting 10 minutes for them to load :rolleyes:. I download a bit of music but nothing serious. Should I have gone for the 50mb deal or am I safe enough with the 25mb one?

    I also got 4 months half price :D

    And no, no connection to UPC :P

    No, 25mb is fine, you should be able to stream HD content without any problems.

    I have the 25mb also, it's more than enough speed for what you need it for.

    Chances are you'll get upgraded to 30 for free

    I'm a heavy user, i watch a ton of HD youtube, stream everything i own, watch netflix all the time, and play games on consoles and the PC.

    I'm able to do this with ease with 25Mb.

    Yep agree with everyone above. I have the 25gb package which has been upped to 30gb. I use my PS3 to watch netflix by proxy, no problem with HD content. Speed test is showing 20ish wirelessly so no complaints.
