How Can I Fix This?!

[Dist]

Wont be enough for the usage that I need, and speeds are just like 2mb.. not great, any other options? This speed atm is a disaster.

If the ping is better, could you not use 3G for gaming (2Mb should be good enough for gaming if the ping is OK) and use the satellite connection for all the youtube stuff you want to do?

Satellite broadband is hugely expensive though and limits the data you can download. £60 for just 50GB is excessive.

What area are you in? Could be other alternatives such as wireless broadband?

Got any 3G phone masts near you?

keep your current line for gaming, there's no fixing a hundred thousand mile round trip. Go with a decent gaming or business ISP, on Fastpath (i.e no interleaving) and give yourself a decent noise margin to minimise packet loss (at the expense of sync speed, but gaming doesn't need much) and you should have solid <30ms latency to UK servers.

This.

Write to your community counsellor. If you live in a broadband "not spot" then I'm sure they are planning / already plans to improve it. We did, and now we have 20Mb/20Mb wireless with 5ms ping for £20/month

No, this is the only option for me
The following services are available in your location:

BT Wholesale ADSL
BT Wholesale ADSL Max
BT Wholesale WBC (21CN)

No wireless cable or anything, so basically very annoying for me.

 

[bledd]

ADSL max = 8mb max
21CN = 24mb max

Which ISP do you have?

 

[Drink]

With Orange right now, most our line can handle is 1Mb. Hence why im annoyed haha.

 

[Orcvader]

You're with Orange? That's a terrible ISP. And looking at what you previously posted, it's not even a LLU package. You may not even be getting the best out of your line because of that.

Can you post what echange you're on? http://www.samknows.com/broadband/exchange_search

If there's no LLU presence at all, then how about a BT reseller, such as TitanADSL?

There are other good BT resellers out there that should bring the best out of your line, but I'm unsure on this area. ADSL24 and Zen are other good ones I've heard of.

Just to let you know, the service I currently have doesn't show up on my exchange, so I'd still ask around locally.
