But, if hard caps are going to be introduced..

How can they implement these without major TOS changes, which would involve informing all customers before the change and giving them the option of a "getout" clause if they don't agree with them (thus possibly losing thousands of customers who are still inside their initial 12 month contract)

Re: New Speed Upgrades 8th March. (Part 3)

I lost my broadband connection for about 15 minutes at just after half-past 12 (I'm near Lichfield, about 15 miles north of Birmingham).

First time in ages. Could be coincidence.

No increase in download times for me, but then again, I'm currently on a 300k connection so will have to ask for the upgrade.

Should I or shouldn't I?

I got the same downtime in Manchester (Wythenshawe area) but at 1am, I'm on 750k there's been no speed increase though.

Might be better to use that one, more accurate than a actual normal download.
