I wouldn't be so bothered and willing to jump ship if I had actually been informed of this trial happening.

However they didn''t and that to me is an abuse of the T's & C's and of the consumer credit act.

Had they informed me then I would have willingly changed my download habits, although the 750Mb limit is very restricting, so much for Uma Therman advertising "you can download me as much as you want, when you want".

As far as being the fastest BB connection in the UK that is in doubt due to BeThere offering up to 24Mbs and on their BePro package (BePro users should expect 22 Mbs D/L) offering up to 2.5Mbs upload.

I have no sympathy for a company that is so short sighted that it cannot (or will not) deliver on it's promises. To implement STM shows a considerable lack of foresight when it is effecting more than the 3 or 5% they are complaining about.

I don't give a toss about the TV package (I haven't had one for at least 2 years) as most of it is repeats and I can migrate my phone no to BT. Not going to cause me a problem!
