    Like JIMJAM, I had my service upgraded a few days ago up to 2 megs. It's not made a massive difference to me, other than being able to download the odd demo/video a whole lot quicker. Similarly, I haven't had any issues with BT since going with them.

    Maybe it is region by region? I live in the greater London area so maybe I am first in line. My phone exchange is equipped to handle 8mb connections so I guess it is just flicking a switch for me but for those further afield it may take some working on. I just dont know!

    Ah-ha!
    At last a letter from BT has come through the door.
    It says my broadband will be upgraded to 2MB before March 15th!
    At last, value for money imo! 15GB limit, yes, but this is just enough for me!
    Cheers BT!

    I'm going to ask for mine to be upgraded to the unlimited business package when we get upgraded. It's the same price as the 15GB/month.

    Well I'm sure that's OK if you have a business?
