In the last few years my broadband speed had shot up from 1Mb to 4Mb to 10Mb(!) - admittedly, they had to be prodded a bit to actually upgrade the package when they were supposed to, managed to cock up the billing (we got the money back, plus an apology), and their offline tech support is still not the best. :| But they've managed to overcome the reliability issues of the past, at least here in Watford, and I am very happily downloading music, TV shows, podcasts (all legit, too) and social networking to my heart's content. :) Sorry you're stuck in a rut there, Stuart.

Obviously my broadband's fine, just need a faster computer. And, dammit, for those that wish to know, my isp's aol come carphone warehouse come whoever they're sold off to next.
