Downgrade fee

Kazbah

I've been with Digiweb for 12months and I have not been using my 30GB traffic allowance so I want to move to Digiweb Metrolite. They want to charge me a €25 downgrade fee. Is this usual. With this and the 20% price hike on Lite I'm tempted to shop around instead.

If you are with eircom dsl ( or with any reseller of eircom dsl) the downgrade fee is €30 + Vat unless you establish that the operator missold you a package which is too fast for your line .

The Allowance is not there to be "used up", It's a limit.

You are paying for a good connection with better than basic DSL upload speed (256k rather than 128k, I think,)

I'm on 10Mbps with a 120G limit (or maybe no limit). But I rarely use more than 10G. Once ever I used 20G in several days.

I wouldn't downgrade just because I'm not using up my cap. You never know when MS may release a massive SP or you decide to download a shiny new version of Ubuntu Linux. + Vmware free palyer or server to run it in your Windows.

Watty has never lived in advanced connectivity areas like Dungarvan or Longford where you gets your 9mbits as standard

He will really start th'oul teeth grinding nationwide if he tells us thats symmetrical as well
