Yup, Pace only do 1 Meg Max I think. You'll get a Sammy if you upgrade which is much quiker than the Pace badboys =P.

But Sammys do not support the full 10 Meg. *Just in case you upgrade to 10 in the future.

what happens if you might want 10MB in future - can you ask for another box beyond the Sammy one

who makes that box ?

what about the 100MB they are talking about

wil you need yet another box beyond the box beyond the Sammy one ?

Err, not really you just get a SACM, and when the 100Meg is rolled out they will have to give customers new equipment and its gunna be a while till that happens.

And was there any point in being facetious?
