Re: Upgrade from 2 - 10 meg

got this email this morning


Dear xxxxxx,

If you thought it was now miles quicker to upload photos online, or download a new album or two - you’d be right!

We’ve speeded up your service from up to 2Mb to up to 10Mb. Which isn’t just fast - it’s blisteringly fast! It’s all part of our plan to bring our broadband power to the people.

Wondering what that means for you?

Well, it’s now:

4 times faster to download a music track (5Mb)
Taking 5 split seconds, instead of 20 seconds.

Twice as fast to download a feature length film (1.9Gb)
Taking 1hr 12 mins, instead of 2hr 24mins

Overall your service is 2 times faster than BT, Tiscali and Orange when you compare average actual download speeds*. You lucky thing!

The good stuff doesn’t stop there, either. With V Stuff (free for every customer), you can now backup your most precious files with the click of a button, store up to 5Gb of music, photos and more online. Plus, print up to 25 snaps for free** - every month!

Haven’t got V Stuff yet? Just click the link below and set it up in a couple of seconds flat.
