This is not a billing issue but related to my internet speed.
I have just got off the phone to the billing dept to have a chat about my bills and how i could possibly reduce the cost of them. This was mainly telephone related.
Whilst talking to them i enquired about reducing both tv and internet from XL internet and TV to L - i made a comment that i may as well reduce to 10Mb as i never really hit over 12Mb anyway (this has always been like this -maybe 14 at a push)
So i end the call and say i will monitor things (re the telephone charges) and if its high again next month i'll change my package about to save money - call ended
So whilst talking to the mrs about reducing tv/internet we both agree that we may as well reduce the internet if we are only getting about 2Mb over the 10Mb package anyway - and so i go do a speed test to prove it, low and behold im getting pretty much full speed :shocked:
ive not cleared any cache,cookies or history and not the interbet is waaaay more snappy than it has been over the last 9 or so months.
