im using bt broadband.

recently got a letter from them sayin my account is going to be upgraded from 512kbps to 2mbps. are any other companies doing this or has anyone else got a letter like this?

its not a gd thing, u get capped on how much u can donwload a month !!

oh and yes they are lots of other companys doing the same

yea Pipex is upgrading my 512k to 1MB

Most ADSL companies are "upgrading" to about 8MBits a second - part of BT's plan or something.

b4, my bt was 576kbps, 15gb a month, now its 2.2mbps, 15 gb a month and the best thing is i live about 100metres from the bt exchange in my area, so i get faster net then others in my town

i have 6.6 mbps but the limit is set to 1.5 gb per month in upload.

my dad has purchased bandwidth packs and now we have 3.75 gb a month... but it still ain't enough.

I'm *hopefully* getting my internet upgraded to 8 mbps, 60 GB a month. Rogers Cable is teh shiznit

Our speed stayed the same but our bandwisth cap had been increased from 1gb to 5gb upstream/downstream.... im still struggling not to use it all though

lol, with my 576kbps i used to send out about 5gb in a week, cos i host off my own pc
i don't think i have an upload cap, because in 27 days i had sent 30gb and i have a 15gb cap so it must only b for downloads

I've got 8 Mbps and no limit...

It used to be 80 Gb, but they removed it.

Happy Downloading for me

yeah im waiting for my letter but i dont know if i will use 15Gb a month guess i will have to wait and see.

I'm getting a free upgrade off BT to 1mbps from 576kbps in the next week or so

NTL is upgrading from 300k to 1megabite. Sounds great you ask but it sucks, because there is a 3gigabyte limit per month whereas the other was unlimited. 3gigabyte a month is only 12hours a day and my computer with my family using it went to about 18hours and I will only be able to play half an hour of gaming a week, that sux. NTL SUX

BT are slow Movers.. Australia are in the middle od or rollin g out ADSL2 an ADSL2+ ..ADSL2 is just basically the internet speed is a lot faster, ADSL2+ you can use VOIP, Telephony on the Analogue/digital Phoneline, an get Paytv on the same phoneline but isnt secure at the moment, to get ADSL2+ you must be living within 1.5Km of the Telephone exchange , to get ADSL2, its jsut Normal, just that everyone that has ADSL1 will need an updated ADSL Modem to use ADSL2

Mine is a canadian compay 5 mbps download and capped at 60 gigs
