Broadband Speed?
So in the uk I am currently with VirginMedia and get 20mb broadband. This is the results of my speed test. Is this average for my broadband package?

You don't really get 60mbit with Virgin.
It's just a big scam, you get 60mbit for the first X number of MB then you get something ridiculous like 1-2mbit. With Sky you get 20mbit - ALWAYS. No throttling on P2P/Usenet ever - 24\7 downloading no problem. Not to start a my broadband is bigger than your broadband, oops  Not sure what the point is though in Virgin's super fast cable network, when you can't actually use it for anything.
