Which is a perfect illustration of what I was saying, Geoff. It's not the wire from your house to the telephone exchange that determines performance (unless you live a long way from the exchange), but what happens beyond that.
For us in the UK, 250GB/month sounds like an unbelievably generous allowance. Most UK ISPs cap at the level of 10-50GB/month, depending what package you buy.
