^Thought I'd share this (the report header is misleading since those on 100MB will only get a 20% speed increase whilst those currently on 20MB will be getting a 200% increase to match up to what those on 30MB will be getting)

Also those who have modems that can't deal with the faster speeds will get new equipment for free.
 
Apparently download limts to be doubled as well, I guess this means the limit before throttling.
 
Not going to complain about moving up to 20mb, although 30 would have been better :D

Awesome! Only 10-20, but that's still double! And hopefully the pitiful upload will double as well, which is handy! Just need to wait for them to get around to doing it, any idea if there's any roadmap for what areas are getting upgraded, and when?
 
I'm ringing up to complain about this tbh.

I paid for the 20Mb to 30Mb upgrade... now they're moving 20Mb people up for free, time to get on the horn and demand some money back! :p

Still to receive my upload speed upgrade in my area yet.
 
Bah, they still aren't rolling out fibre to the house where I live, the town a mile down the road has it but not us. Only BT's Infiniti fibre to the cabinet.
