We offer one specific broadband service: ADSL2+ broadband services provide "up to 17Mbps" download speeds across large parts of the country. ADSL2+ also offers faster upload speeds of up to 1Mbps. What can affect broadband speeds? Although you'll get a maximum download speed for your broadband service, it will be dependent on a range of factors & subject to survey & availability.
