Actually I wasn't out of contract, I upgraded to 30Mb earlier in the year and paid my £30 for the Superhub on the premise that eventually almost everyone would probably end up paying for one. At that time I had to re-contract for 12 months. Then they announced the speed increases.

RealDiamond actually there is no competition for fast broadband here, we'll probably get BT Infinity in 2020 (if were lucky and I am only 15 miles from Bham), only last year did they enable Sky on our exchange. I take your point though, they use the competition or lack of it as a bargaining tool, I have had that before when I've complained, basically they've just said there's no competition where you live tough s**t, like it or lump it. So I was lucky this time. After the two years are up, no doubt I will be going through the whole malarkey again, it just seems so pointless...
