Sorry if this has been said before (as this thread is HUGE)

What amazes me is that they went ahead rolling out Samsung Boxes for people to be upgraded to 1.5Mb and I don't think they even looked into the future with this. I mean, it can only go an extra 3.5Mb, is that a sound investment?. It seems like a stupid move by them as all they have done is create more work for themselves.

Instead of upgrading us to Samsung boxes they should have given us a seperate modem in the first place and that would have saved them (and us) the hassle.

I'm still on 3Mb. When I rang I got the feeling they didn't want to put me up to 5Mb and seemed insistant that I fill in an online form to get them to upgrade me to 10Mb.

I'm not expecting it until January now, I remember what a pain it was to get them to upgrade me to the Samsung box.

I do like the samsung boxes though, nicer than the Pace boxes.
