my view is if I was on the 50mbit tier I would consider anything below 40mbit unacceptable as then the speed is nearer to the tier below it. Some will argue thats still 80% of the speed which is a valid point but for me its about 50mbit remaining value for money on the product below it. However its worth pointing out 50mbit has no download STM so if you a heavy user the 30mbit product is effectively a 7.5mbit product during peak which would then mean speeds down to 10mbit or so may be acceptable.
