As long as he doesn't expect to upload to YouTube @ 7 Mbps on such an uncapped upstream sync

I just dont understand other people in my area get about 2.2 mbps (megabytes) and I dont.

You get "Download speed achieved during the test was - 2.3 Mbps"

Just to absolutely spell it out. 2.2 megabytes per second is approximately 17 megabits per second. So, if people "near" you are getting 17 megabits per second then they are connected to a much closer exchange as you need to be pretty close to see those sorts of speeds.

Your 2.2 megabits per second would be seen on downloads as around 275 kilobytes per second. Speedtests measure in bits but downloads measure in bytes.

This has been stated before in this thread but you still seem to be confusing them.

yeah well it confuses me. As of now i do now now that 2 megabits is 250 odd and 20 megabits is 2,000

ADSL MAX only according to SamKnows

can that change?

Yes

BT Wholesale is still rolling out its ADSL2+ network, got an updated list yesterday, and you are not on it, but might change

Also TalkTalk and Sky have not finished their ADSL2+ roll-outs either.

Than add to this the Local Authority projects that should start delivering in 2013, to bring better broadband to lots of places and things are very likely to change.

so there is a possibility that sky or talktalk might have adsl2+ at my exchange?

Be very cautious if you make any enquiries to TalkTalk about broadband - sales may not fully inform you of the extra that one has to pay for IP Stream and one could easily be lumbered with a very poor contracted non-LLU service.
