I agree.
This stinks of bad management.
The market is horribly competitive.
I dont know but it seems as though they have looked at the competition and are being told to deliver the same. Bad move as far as I can see. Pipex are giving me 2 meg with no problem but they never promised it.
Interesting distiction there when they agree a one meg connection and you get 2 you think "Oh Thanks". Promise ten and degrade the whole network and nobody is happy.
