B3TA fixes the worldMoon Monkey says: Turn into Jeremy Clarkson for a moment, and tell us about the things that are so obviously wrong with the world, and how they should be fixed. Extra points for ludicrous over-simplification, blatant mis-representation, and humourous knob-gags.

^^^ ThisAlso, if you get a few dropouts, what ADSL will do is reconnect at a lower speed next time.
The speed of a new line basically "ramps up" over a few days until it finds the best speed it can achieve without dropping out.
If a problem develops with your line later, noise etc, causing it to drop out frequently, then this algorithm will kick in again and you can end up with quite a low "cap", even after the original fault has been fixed. Your ISP can remove/reset this for you and it will (hopefully) start ramping up again.
