Re: 30M minimum by end of 2012
I think another caveat of this 30mbit package I am on it seems to have a extremely low STM limit.
I downloaded a iso cd only 700meg and I hit a STM limit last night.

how much do you pay for 30mbit atm. I am sure that once they wang the prices down 100mbit is only going to be £25/month so it must be worth the extra few £££ for the speed and un-stm'd-ness

Jeebus. 100mbit for £25 a month, I'd forgotten how ludicrous prices have become these days. No wonder they're suffering congestion issues, if they're advertising connectivity at those prices.

Well with XL30 you get 5GB in the Evening period so I'd assume it's the same for the tier you are on

Re: 30M minimum by end of 2012
Doesn't say 100Mb would become £25 unless I have to trawl through 20+ pages

Re: 30M minimum by end of 2012
ya, I was defo paying £25 for 50mbit and when I rang up to upgrade they said everything was free (installation and bla bla) and I would only have to pay £10 a month more for 50mbit. Since the speed doubling and price reductions were annouced I have had a letter through saying that my bill was going down by £5.75 a month from April and this included the price increases as well. So all in all, it going back to £25 a month which I think is pretty sweet for 100/120mbit and how much I use it
