50Mb price after the increase?
 

Hi

Can anyone tell me what the 50Mb (broadband only, no phone line) price will be after the forthcoming price rises?

Thanks

£25

Re: 50Mb price after the increase?
 

Given it's currently £35 before increases...

Re: 50Mb price after the increase?
 

wait... i thought both 50 and 100 which are moving to 120 will all be £25

No phone line 50Mb BB is currently £34.50, I doubt it will drop to 25.

i was paying £25 for my 50mbit for donkeys and when I upgraded to 100mbit in November they told me my bill would go up by £10/month making it £35 and I have since had a letter saying it would go back down again. The long and short of it is that after all the speed increases have been completed, 120mbit will be £25 for current 50mbit and 100mbit customers.

thats a pretty good price for those in good performing areas. especially if the STM status remains as is set on the current 100meg.

Re: 50Mb price after the increase?
 

sure is. But there isnt any stm atm fyi (lol) and I cant see it staying that way once they wang all the 50mbit users up to 100mbit. I am not looking forward to it to be honest. I can remember what it was like when I was on 50mbit without stm and what a pain in the bum it was when they introduced it. I dont do a lot during the evenings anyway but stm always starts from 1500 and as an example, yesterday I downloaded 35gb between 1500-1600 and that would have triggered any stm and screwed me over for the rest of the evening.

I know it is going to be a while before they rollout 200mbit so I would rather them introduce another tier (why not? they have got enough pants tiers down at the bottom) for £10 extr a month (pre-price reduction) which is un'stm'd so current 100mbit basically stays as it is. I tink how they have got things atm is really nice because I havent got an stm and even though they do protocol shaping, it hardly effects me anymore. They must have done a lot of good work in my area because trying to do torrents in the evenings on 50mbit wasn't worth it, whereas now on 100mbit I can still pull 7mb/sec down and upload at 500k, i love it.

50mbit has no download STM only upload STM.

Re: 50Mb price after the increase?
 

oh, I must be thinking about when they introduced right in the beginning when i was on 20mbit donkeys years ago.

Re: 50Mb price after the increase?
 

I still pay £38 for BB only :(

Re: 50Mb price after the increase?

Re: 50Mb price after the increase?
 

30mb costs £28.50 without a phone line
60mb will cost £30 without a phone line

Re: 50Mb price after the increase?
 

that cant be right because another user told me he was paying ~£15.50 a couple of weeks ago for his 30mbit. Have a look at this
