Abhishek@O2 said:Hello Everyone,
I know a lot of people have asked question related to our new packages. I'd like to clarify that we’re not going to migrate everyone from our existing packages to the new ones, so the old T&C’s will be applicable for any existing customer. However the new packages will be offered when a new contract is signed.

Abhishek@O2 said:Hi Fermatr1x & Ashproctor,
We have designed our new packages around the needs of customers. As a result we want to ensure that customers across the O2 LLU network have the best experience possible. Traffic shaping will only take place during peak hours and even on the lowest packages customers will be able to stream good quality video and music without noticing any deterioration on the service. At O2 customer experience is really important and as such we will not be compromising the service we provide.
Thanks

Right, soon as my contract is up im off, o2 can suck my man plums.
I think that this pretty much sums up what is bothering ISPs. You have a relatively small number of users who place enormous loads on broadband by downloading films and US TV programs and playing games on-line and yet feel that they should still be paying the same price as the little old lady who just uses email to keep in touch with her children and grandchildren, to do a bit of on-line shopping and to check the TV schedules.. . . it's great to see O2 are taking the different internet user types into account . . .
