no news to suggest this and as ADSL and LLU is offering very high 'headline' rates to new subscribers it would be commercially insane to stick with the current speeds.

not if the £18 a month product is limited to a very low gig allowance. the main issue would be the £25 product which people will expect to have 20-30gig allowance - I suspect the network at the moment couldnt sustain moving all the 2meg users to 10meg. which brings us to the other issue - you can't move that amount of users to 10meg unless you have the systems in place to detect the amount of gigs people are sucking up per day/month.

My problem appears worse then the norm so if you had 10meg tommorow I would expect you wouldnt be seeing speeds anywhere near mine and be better, but then again it would be on top of the current 10meg bunch of customers and I also expect their is a lot more people on the 24.99 tier then the 37.99 tier so its upgrading a greater amount of customers which will of course have a bigger impact then the current bunch.

why are you sticking with 10meg then? as it's so poor why not save £10-£17 a month and downgrade. ps. the 37.99 tier is now 34.99.
