ive noticed a lot of tech support have been doing that lately though giving people free upgrades and not telling them to call back to go back to 2mb
When I had a dispute with my motor insurer they actually played back a conversation that I had with them nearly a month previously in order to stitch me up for a premium increase (long story, but when I changed my car on my policy they couldn't find the exact model so quoted me a figure. They then sent me a letter nearly a month later telling me that they had found the proper vehicle and added about £200 to my premium. I wrote to complain and they contacted me and played back the person mentioning that the premium might go up).

Just thought that it might have been similar in this case.

Anyone know what the rules are on upgrading people without explicitly asking for it and then insisting they contact you back? I just wondered if it is slightly frowned upon and they just hope that if they stick to their guns you won't complain and will just pay up.

If this is happening a lot I wonder how much interest they're making on peoples' money that they will have for about a month before 'crediting' it back?

I'll echo that. The one I dealt with had the attitude that I should have known to contact them at some obscure date to downgrade my service back down. I then had to have an argument for about two minutes about 'NTL's refund policy' and to get details on how to complain.
