-pops- Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 This is the gist of an email I have had from BT:We're always looking for ways to offer BT Yahoo! Broadband customers the best possible service, and that's why we're busy upgrading your line to 2Mb. That's twice your current speed. You will be pleased to know that, as a BT Yahoo! Broadband 1Mb customer, you'll receive this upgrade first. In addition, we're reducing your price for three months, giving you even better value. You don't have to do a thingRest assured, this upgrade is at no extra cost to you and it requires no extra equipment. It will happen sometime between 17th February and 9th March 2005. Most upgrades will take place automatically - you won't need to do anything and there will be no need for an engineer to visit. On the actual day of the upgrade, you may experience a short loss of service - this should be less than 30 minutes. In the unlikely event that your line cannot support 2Mb, we'll let you know as soon as possible. Not a penny moreWe're reducing the cost of your BT Yahoo! Broadband service by £2.99 a month (from £29.99* down to £27.00*) for three months from February or March - depending on your billing date.You'll keep your 30GB (gigabyte) monthly usage allowance with your new 2Mb service. 30GB usage is more than enough for the vast majority of customers. For example, you can send and receive about 500 photos and watch 6 hours of video downloaded from the web each week. Relax and enjoyIf you have any questions, please click here Otherwise, just sit back and look forward to the faster surfing ahead.

-pops- Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 The 30GB/month has never caused me any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 I am just waiting now for NTL to increase their speed. They have promised to shortly increase the 720 ( I think it's that) to 2MB for £24.99 per month. When they do I may well drop back to 1MB and save £7 per month. IMB will suit me fine if I'm saving money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r4may Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 I'll stay with Pipex it cost less and is unlimited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilch Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Be warned.. it is only BT retail customers not wholesale these upgrades will apply to...so surely these would go against rules set by offcom? or what ever the regulatory body is!
