Basically want to know the following....
Is the upgrade available now to 20mb customers on old kit or am I just getting the superhub with hopes of being upgraded later? (i.e. Is the speed increase immediate once the new kit is installed or does that come once my area is switched over like with previous free upgrades?)

How is the upgrade paid? One-off card payment or added onto my bill?

Does this start a new contract? And if so What length?

Will me being only 6 months into my current contract hinder me in getting the upgrade? I know it normally wouldn't but I've seen mention of new 12 month contracts coming in with the upgrade as above.

Any difference in STM or is it the same as 20mb? (I assume same as 20mb will be the case).

Think that's everything I wanted to know. If anyone responds and they feel they have more relevant info that I haven't asked for feel free to add it to your reply.
1st post...

The gist is 30Mb is available to all for 30 quid now. If you already have the Superhub (from a recent 20Mb install?) and are prepared to wait you can have 30Mb in "a while..." for free.

I have been on 20Mb from the days of getting 1Mb in a hurry cos I heard there was a 2Mb free trial on offer (remember that!?!) - just managed to get in - and somehow was paying 21.50 after discounts so I went the 50Mb route, no upfront fee and I end up paying 3 quid a month more for the year - Result!! Tuesday install.
