Anyone notice a pattern here .

So not even 12 months since the last major hike and they are putting prices up again by significantly more than inflation.

So a ~20-80% increase in speeds and you complain about a 6% price increase?

Get real.

Stick with the tiers they have now but get rid of traffic management would be a much better option all round.

Nah,

With next gen game downloads at 30, 40, 50GB+ per game,

I'll happily take faster speeds.

Why would anyone want to wait 'minutes' for downloads?

Under 30 seconds should be a target for also anything to download,

1-10Gb speeds should help with that!! (Of course years away).

But if people like you had their own way, we would be stuck on 56k or 128k :/

The main question is,

Will my VMNG300 be able to handle 152Mb ?
