That's the first time I've seen anyone call the Pace box "trusty"...
As I understood it, the Samsung has two processors, and is far more adept at juggling TV, Interactive and Broadband than the Pace ... though some complain about the appearance of the silver box unless you have other metallic case style equipment... surely they could have specified a nice refined charcoal colour or something?
The alternative is to do nothing - they'll be happy to leave you and your trusty Pace box on 750k. I'd be wary about downgrading, unless you were a VERY light user and only had 750k for the speed, as the claims made for how much you can do with 1Gb are woefully exaggerated, if you do anything other than browse ... Some Flash games are 3-4Mb and fail to cache, so that's every time you visit, a day, a week, a month.
One thing to think of, if you want it, is to consider going down to the 300k tariff NOW, if you need the 30Gb capacity, but aren't too bothered about the speed, since you may not have that choice after.
