Those complaining about the £25 fee should spare a thought for those of us who bought our cable modems back in the early days when we didnt have a choice.

We paid about £150 for the modem and as such we have always got a £5 discount since rental became an option. However if you try and upgrade from 750k to 1.5mb they refuse to take the discount into effect and it will almost certainly be the same here.

This mean not onlt do we have to pay £25 to upgrade but we either have to stick outselves with a stupid 5GB limit or pay £5 a month more than we do now for something we dont need.

Again just another example of long term customers who helped them support the product in the early days being screwed over in favour of new customers



As for if these will be proper caps I have to say the fact they are mentioned in the press releases would suggest that they will be. Why make it such an issue otherwise. Only other reason could be as others have said they want to scare people into not downgrading in which case they wont clarify their position and will leave us to all take a risk
