Your internet diet - are you getting enough fibre?

[Alan]

So, I've been on broadband now for about 18 years.

i've now decided to move up to fibre.
Two types - fast and very fast.
I've gone for the fast version to start with. It's not the download speed I'm after - it's the upload speed I need.
I'm trying to finish the movie section and waiting 13 hours to upload a film and then it often times out and off I start again, so should be able to do it in about 1 hour 20 mins soon.
Also want to upload the corrected ratio versions as well, so hopefully in about a week, but they say wait another 10 days after that before its up and running at its fastest.

So what are the rest of you on and how do you find things?

Also, for the future, the planned giga bit per second speed - do we need it and if so why?

Well so far so good. I've not really noticed any difference with downloading unless its a large file or something.
But uploading is brilliant!!! Roughly 10 to 12 times faster

I've got 'Fibre to the Street Cabinet' with BT, but they tell me 'Fibre to the Premises', which will be the ultimate speed-wise is a long way off.
