Upgrade in June, wooohooooo!!

Good point, time will tell what packages are available, and at what cost with any limits / caps etc etc

Not wanting to **** on anyones fire, as I certainly hope its a free upgrade for 10mb users, to 20mb - but it doesn't actually say we'll be getting the upgrade for free. Heres the extract:

Quote:

Broadband

We continue to experience strong growth in the number of broadband subscribers with net additions of 78,100 in the quarter, continuing at the level experienced in the previous quarter.

As an end-to-end network owner, cable has inbuilt advantages in the quality of broadband service that we offer. Customers can receive consistent speeds no matter where they live on our network and a top speed of 10Mb is available throughout our broadband addressable areas. We will be increasing this to 20Mb in June and we are also currently conducting a residential trial of a 50Mb broadband service.

Our product superiority was recognized in February when we were named Best Consumer ISP at the Internet Services Providers’ Association Awards. The award recognized that we demonstrate outstanding value for money and customer care.

Just says that they currently offer 10mb as the fastest but that will be increasing to 20mb. Its open to suggestion and interpretation but it doesn't mean it'll be free. It could mean they'll be adding a 20mb option to their product range, no?

I don't think anyone mentioned a 'free' upgrade

I have just got my connection upgraded from 10mbit to 20mbit again. I was on the old 20mbit trial last october. Maybe they're doing some more tests, hopefully I can keep this new conneciton now. Anway it is 20mbit down and 768k up, for those who wanted to know what the upload rate is like.

I thought it'd be here sooner than June... It should also be a free upgrade from 10mb. Maybe we'll see new tiers like 4mb 10mb and 20mb? Time will tell.

I hope so... would be good to get 10Mb and a quicker upload speed.
