Don't the 10mb L customers get bigger download allowances and the like than the upgraded 10mb M customers though?

Yes :D

Then what is the difference and how is it calculated (amount of limit for both M/L & L/L)?

Try telling that people in non-cabled areas who are a few miles from the exchange ;) They'd kill for your price/speed ;)

This is a bit of an ambiguous thread so I can see why the more techy guys (Igni, Seph et al) are leaving it alone.

A snapshot of speeds in the middle of evening peak periiods with no info as to if it exists 24/7.

The OP has been a site member for 5 yrs so knows the score otherwise would be asking for help.

Not biting any more:angel::angel::angel:

We pay £72.00 total. (no complaints whatsoever about TV & phone charges). It just seems that with the entry level at £12.50 pcm for 10mb broadband, what we actually get is not worth twice as much at £25.00 pcm.

As hubby is the bill payer and loath to complain I really need good ammunition to get him to do anything (if this is at all worth it).

Shouldn't you be paying £47.49 for L BB, XL TV and M Phone, or have you got extras such as Sky Sports?

The only extra is talk anywhere 200 @ + £9.00 hence the query about charges. TV £23.00 line rental £11.00 less of course the £1.00 for paperless billing.

:blush: Missed the payment handling charge of £5.00

So total should be £67.00 without the handling charge.
