Where Do You Want Your Service To Go
 
I'm just asking out of curiousity what people would change if they could about their service, just one thing though as all of them are very tickable :)

It's just really about seeing what people like and want the most from their services as I'm nosey :p

To be honest, i am not too bothered about having any of them....

I personally don't have the need for higher up/download, have never had any problems with the "usage guideline" and share the associate discount price with my housemates anyway so it is cheap for me :)

You're far too easily pleased, I have 2Mbit/256k DSL at home and it feels freaking slow now :p:

I'm not fussed about the 1GB/day "usage guideline", as I rarely get near that. Certainly not for "3 or 4 days in a 14 day period".

The current download speeds are fine for my use.

Upload...higher upload would be nice for gaming, but as I haven't actually bothered with XBoxLive for ages now it's not a big thing (well, until Halo 2...)


So I think the main change I'd like to see would be lower prices. Especially now that ADSL is getting more competitive.

I just wish my downloads would keep to a consistant pace instead of sloping off to nothing.Thank goodness for IDA.

faster download at a lower price :)

Re: Where Do You Want Your Service To Go
 
All of the above, but a lower price would be nice. Maybe 10mbits for say a fiver a month????? ;)

Would have to be the upload for me. :)

to be realistic, 3mbit down 400k upload at £50 per month or 5mbit down 500k upload at £65-£70.

heck even if it was downstream that got a bump of speed i would be happy.

im not willing to pay over the odds for a fast service though.

Re: Where Do You Want Your Service To Go
 
as I use my connection mainly for browsing & downloading the upload doesn't matter. I don't download enough for the 'cap' to be an issue or to require a faster connection, so I would be quite happy to maintain the status quo, but pay less. :)

ADSL is becoming cheaper whilst NTL is becoming more expensive (albeit faster too), so I would like to see a decrease in price. £38 p/month for 1½ Mb is pretty steep if you compare it to comparative ADSL packages.

Wouldnt mind some extra upload speed, if only to 384K, A friend of mine in holland is on 3Mb/768, and it makes me cry :p

Higher upload would be handy for FTPing, but being as that negotiates each file individually and I'm often sending many small files, not one big file I don't hit the 256k I currently have.

Re: Where Do You Want Your Service To Go
 
I said lower price because what I am on at the moment is sufficient for my normal usage. If I suddenly had the need to download a great deal quickly and my present tier was too slow then I would change to a faster tier for a month and then drop back down again. It would need a new killer application for me to want faster speeds regularly. This would be something like very high quality TV streamed over the net.

Higher upload would be nice. :)
