free speed increase

Ive just went onto my orange account and it allowed me to upgrade my broadband speed from 2mb to 5.5mb and at the cost of nothing except my 12 month contract to start again. So how come ive got something that amazing for free

I don't know what orange's policies are but I'm guessing they might restrict the bandwidth on faster connections more than on slower ones.

To be honest I'd rather have the lower speed.

12 months contracts are never good. I should know, I'm stuck with BT until April because of the stupid contract.

Sounds like you were on a 2Mb fixed rate service and they have offered you the upgrade to Max for free. To go from a 1Mb or 2Mb fixed rate service costs the ISP nothing as they do not get charged a regarde fee by BT. But by saying to you that you can have a faster speed for free as long as you agree to another 12 month contract they are retaining you at no additional cost to themselves.

Enjoy the faster speeds
