There are meny points of comparison.
I'm paying 83.5878 Euros.
As long as things like videos didn't have to stop and buffer two or three
time while I was watching them, I could be quite happy.
If I was getting an ADSL1 service and that's all I was paying for, I would
be quite happy.
But that is not the situation....yet.
It's the deal they are about to be hit with.
If that's all the product they are prepared to deliver, that's all they
will get paid for.

Weaver.
