Re: Are You/Will You be "Downgrading" From 3mb to 2mb
running at 3mb for now (funny how the 1.5mb people were not offered a speed increase to 2mb - I know it was a pricing thing)...See how things go the extra speed is nice especially vpn'd to work!

Re: Are You/Will You be "Downgrading" From 3mb to 2mb
I wonder if you have just upgraded to 3Mb if you will have to wait 30 days to downgrade to 2Mb?

Re: Are You/Will You be "Downgrading" From 3mb to 2mb
I was upgraded earlier today from 750k to 2mbit and I don't plan to upgrade to 3mbit.

If it was 4mbit with a 80GB cap (although I dislike the idea of caps) at the same price as the current 3mbit then I'd reconsider...

Re: Are You/Will You be "Downgrading" From 3mb to 2mb
I am on adsl (f2s) and have just gone from 512 unlimited at 22.50 to 2meg with 50gb cap for 24.99. This means i can now see a download?upload meter in my members area website ( both down and uploads count!)

was interested to see that with 3 pcs in the house doing a mix of teenage/parental/vpn stuff we are doing about 125meg /day, so plenty to spare!

2 meg with no proxy servers is just flying for browsing, downloads are at around 265k as expected.

T

that reminds me, must update my sig!

Re: Are You/Will You be "Downgrading" From 3mb to 2mb
I will be downgrading to 2mbit at earliest oppourtunity, 2mbit is about right speed for me and I dont upload much, since the cap is the same on both tiers there is no incentive to pay the extra £13 a month.

Re: Are You/Will You be "Downgrading" From 3mb to 2mb
The top speed should be at least 4mb 400k for the price..........

Or the 3mb 300k should be £29.99. ...........

The difference between the middle and top speed is not enough.

Re: Are You/Will You be "Downgrading" From 3mb to 2mb
I didn't even bother going up to 3mb I called CS yesterday morning and they "downgraded" me from 1.5Mb to 2Mb

So I voted yes as I did kinda downgrade from the possibility of 3Mb.

True. Needs a bit more to it to justify the price, but uploading at 30kb/s is too slow let alone 25

You shouldn't have to. I went through 3 tier changes in 30 minutes (bit of a cock up their end, but they sorted it). I assume the same would apply to you.

Re: Are You/Will You be "Downgrading" From 3mb to 2mb
Yes, I shall be 'downgrading' to 2MB, as I can't see that there's enough justification for £13 p/month extra. I'll still be getting more bandwidth than I was getting this time last week, but will be saving money

I'm with you, 2meg is great when there are no poxy proxys in the way!

Can't wait for UKONLINE to offer 8mbit LLU on my exchange in May!

Saying that, if I was still with Ntl then I'd downgrade as their proxies are the limiting step.
