My ADSL is 1 Mbit also, in a city in Spain. 20 Mbit is announced, but the
small print says something about "ask for availability..." meaning it is
only available in selected parts of the main capitals. And it is not a
maintained speed (ie, it is a maximum). And cable is not universal here,
my house is not "viable". Smaller cities, villages, countryside? Forget
it.
