yes, but forgive me if im wrong, taking bt broadband as an example, the packages are:

£17.99-2mb , 1gb cap
£24.99-2mb, 15gb cap
£26.99-2mb, btyahoo 15gb cap
£29.99-2mb, btyahoo 30gb cap

I have read many articles stating that the packages will remain the same, except the speed will just be increased to 8mb. BT will continue to do this whenever faster speeds become availible. So in the autumn, they will have adslmax, and then later on 2006, they PROBABLY will have adsl2+ services in place.

However, i totally agree when you say that id rather have 4mb unlimited services. However, i do think the telewest elite 2mb is quite pricy at the moment, but it is going to increase to 10mb unlimited which at the moment is a great deal, until bulldog and ukonline and eventually BT unveil the faster speeds.

I am keen to know, however, why llu companies like ukonline can offer faster speeds than BT itself?
Thanks. I think we can safely can say that in a few months time the standard broadband speed accross UK wil increase from <2mb to >10mb!

If I am correct, by the time tw have completed the upgrade to 2mb,4mb and 10mb, it will be time for the next upgrade!!
I would also like to voice the opinion that it was a bad idea for tw to drop the £50 p/m package , as it would mean tw loosing the ppl who r prepared to pay that much! Maybe they could have offered something else to fill that package, ie a faster speed or greater upload speed?
