Re: CF receive broadband speed upgrade Dates

For people complaining that the percentages aren't equal, try thinking about it like this:


orig speed...new speed....orig price...new price....speed inc....price inc

128K.........300K......... £14.99.......Ãâ₠¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£17.99.......134%.........20%
512K.........750K......... £24.99.......Ãâ₠¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£24.99.......46%..........0%
1MB..........1.5MB........ £34.99*......Ãâ₠¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£37.99.......50%..........9%


Interesting, no? The bronze service has the biggest price increase, but also the biggest speed increase. The gold service has just under half the price increase, and a little under half the speed increase (seems pretty fair). The silver service, which people seem to be moaning about, has an increase almost the same as the gold service with NO price increase - in terms of value, you're easily getting the best deal!

* I ignored the very original price of fifty quid as being an introductory thing (+ it screws up the maths!)
