I don't remember the last time I complained about the internet connection being slow actually..
It looks like hardware department is not doing its homework instead. Hard drives, and cpus are the limitations most of the time for me.

For most of us the internet speed is the biggest problem. My home internet speed has some very big issued on peak hours.
It's not unusual for the connection to be unusable for an hour.
Luckily peak time is usually when everybody is home from work and i don't really need to use it at that time.
But still, with bad infrastructure, you will not gain any more speed with 1tb internet connection either. Im guessing your provider tells you that they are providing 10mbit connection to you, which is a lie according to what you explained, right?
BT is outright shocking (probably infinite is ok, however this is in response to Virgin deploying fiber- and they're directly competing- thus! in area's with fiber coverage you get a choice of BT or Virgin, in the other areas.. well, sucks to be you!)
I get, on average 150KB/s with around 1s latency at all times (when it goes lower than 1s I celebrate)[0].
I live in the tech part of london, seriously confused as to how this is acceptable, but a leased line to bring me up to your speeds would cost me more than I earn in a month (I checked).
London and "average 150KB/s" ??
You should be getting better connection than that with 4g on your mobile then?
(and 4g for 3UK hasn't been rolled out yet)
The perception in residential is that customers don't understand what they want and can't go somewhere else, so you slap the biggest speed number on it that won't get you sued and then provide them crap service.
Why would anyone want that? Well would could all move to ipv6, use modern web browsers with webrtc and p2p stream iplayer like a torrent stream. That must substantially reduce the BBC IT costs therefore its licencing requirements.
All my consoles/players are hooked up via cable.
I do wonder how many complaints they get from people complaining they only get 50Mb and not the advertised 76Mb.
