Congestion is shocking at times and as you move away from the CBD the better it gets. However I also like to point out that speed isn’t always the main issue. You have to consider response time as well. Wireless networks suck in this regard and what I rather see is better response with moderate speed. Start off at ADSL1 styled performance with decent response times then move up from there. Consistency would be nice too!</span></p>
