UK Online has announced the roll-out of its brand new ADSL2+ package. The company claim a maximum download speed of 22Mb, but the actual speed you get is based on the distance you are from the exchange and could be much lower.

UK Online is obviously wary of promising and not being able to deliver. To avoid unhappy customers, the sign-up process will give you an estimated download speed based on your distance from the exchange.

The service is priced at £29.99 per month and has no download limits. Along with a lightning fast downstream, ADSL2+ also offers an upstream of 768Kb - most services are limited to 256Kb at present.
