be careful upgrading with orange mate
if you go onto the broadband max service you may get reasonable speeds but it will fluctuate badly at peak times
i sync at 8 meg but get 5 meg at best, during peak times it is as low as 500kb sometimes
if they put you onto llu then the most that people are seeing at the moment is about 2.7 meg on that system and again sometimes very slow speeds
also when you upgrade to 8 meg with orange you are tyed into another 12 month contract, if they then give you a shite service and you want to leave they will charge you money
their customer service when you have a problem is terribnle, i was stuck at 2 meg for 3 months and they did nothing to help me and i kept getting fobbed off by a call centre dude in india, they basically lie to you to get you off the phone and then never phone back if they say they will
i get home on thursday mate, if you are willing to hold off for a week or so i can give you info and sites that may help you decide if you want to upgrade and stay with orange or if you want to move isp and upgrade or if you want to stick with 2 meg
want to upgrade to 8 meg .
