Re: 20 Mb/s to 30Mb/s free upgrade

It's hardly unsurprising that people are generally accepting this as a done deal when it's being reported as such. No mention of "XL" there incidentally. It says 20 & 30.
The article goes on to say:

"Upgrading" not "being upgraded to" - which almost suggest 20mb users will need to presumably ask to upgrade and/or pay to do so?
You're misreading it.

The Terms and Conditions that give away the coming switch to 30Mb are not the T&Cs that describe how you get the 30Mb service. They are the T&Cs that describe who is eligible for a superhub. That they mention 30Mb at all is entirely incidental.
