no.
long answer: the fastest ADSL connections as 24Mb (I think)sadly these are never really that fast due to the coper between you and the exchange. (I get 10Mb on a 24mb connection, on agood day, usually closer to 6). Cable offers faster and you tend to get what you pay for, but the fastest they offer is 40mb (I think, out or touch).

fair dos, i expect less than i pay for
but why does the comp say 65mbps?
(, Thu 25 Aug 2011, 0:33, Reply)
because thet's how fast your wireless card can connect to the network.
the network in this case includes (and may well be limiteded to) your router, which hes it's own 8mb connection ton the outside world.

if you like the tube from your lappy to the router is quite wide, like TGB's fanny or Darth's ares, while the tube from your roputer to the internet is quite narrow, like Monty's Mind.

it depends.
8m is about average and you likely won't get better without moving house or switching to virgin.
