I got a message yesterday about a "free" upgrade from 50mb to 100mb, sometime this summer.

To me, this is about as much use as a go faster stripe in a traffic jam !
I assume my existing speed, at half the rental, was out of the question.:)
 
Right now you have our up to 120Mb broadband. That's really fast, but between June 2014 and August 2014 you'll be able to supercharge your speed to up to 152Mb broadband at no extra monthly cost. We'll email you when it's ready
 
It's a game they play. 'Free' speed upgrade then an increase in your subscriptions later in the year.
HH.
 
its good to get more for free but free is never free with vermin,i have 60meg just now I hope the bump me to 120meg lol.
bet they want the cash for it as well.

The last time they give us a free speed upgrade we were at a crap speed for nearly a month. They say we should get 152mb sometime between August and January, I'm so looking forward to it (NOT).

Plus they will probably throttle the hell out of it unless you schedule stuff over night.


Those speed tests only give a rough idea, it depends on how many hops your connection to a website actually goes through and the speed of the routing.

Here's a few I did earlier.
