At the end of the day if you do not want to change or upgrade then the simple option it seems - is to do nothing. These speed increases are not being forced on people and existing customers do not have to pay the £25 admin fee if they do not want to upgrade.

I for one though am happy with these changes, 512K was priced £24.99 when I got BB 3/4 years ago and In the 1st quarter of 2005 I can get 2MB, almost as four times as fast for the same price. That's not bad for a company, who emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection not that long ago.

I understand what you're saying. Its not really possible to do nothing though. It'll cost me more to have 750k than it will cost people to have 1mb. I'll also be on a lower monthy cap than I am on currently. If I upgrade to the new packages in order to downgrade to 1mb it'll cost me £25 and I'll be on a 5gb a month usage restriction. If I upgrade to 2mb in order to keep the same usage restruction it'll cost me £25 to basically stay the same. I don't want to turn this into another lengthy cap debate, but thats more important to me really than any kind of e-p**** speed measurement.
