Had it since November. It sure beats 56k dial up.
DLs tend to be limited by whatever is sending the files -- so an average transfer rate is about 60 kb/sec. Some sites chuck it out a lot faster though.
It's very rapid but not what you'd call "instant". You will notice and enjoy the difference. Especially if you're into multiplayer games.

I've had DSL for nearly a year now u get a steady 60kb/sec download and a steady 30kb/sec upload... it connects in a split second and seems to be very reliable! They have also dropped the monthly payments from 40 to 30 quid a month which is a bonus!
I'm waiting for the 1mb broadband to become available at a good price for private use... hopefully it will be very soon
Have fun with it anyways

I think cable usually has a lower ping for games too which would be nice. But that upload speed is important -- funnily enough I've never checked it but I U/L a lot of stuff in projects back-and-forth and I can get 5 MB up in about 2-3 minutes. I don't know what that works out at.
I like the sound of that 1 MB broadband though. That sounds rather nice.
