I'm in Barnet rather than Camden, but I'm quite happy with the speed VM 
goes at.  Though I'm not usually on much in the 6-10PM weekday peak 
times, it's noticeably faster than the 8Mb/s ADSL we were supposed to 
have before.  Also have managed to download gigs of stuff without seeing 
any caps.  The main problem I have with them is that the DNS service 
drops out from time to time, now I have the OpenDNS IPs in a text file 
and I update my resolv.conf whenever that happens.
