    I started off on 15mb lat year, a few months later upgraded to 20mb, then a few months after that 25mb. Just the other day I got a letter to say I'm now upgraded to 30mb, all of them at no extra cost :). Living on the northside of the city.

    I've never been contacted by them .... ( unless I owe them money .. )

    Also been upgraded over the years - but this is the most significant change.

    Tony Fenton has just said customers are going to be hit with an 84euro price hike over a year. Matt Cooper is going to be discussing it in more depth in a few.

    same here, they just texted me saying they're upgrading me 25MB->30MB while price remains the same

    Part of the scheduled upgrades alright. that coverage of the 84 annual increase is over the top IMO.

    few mates of mine have gotten no more than a 1.50 change per month. plenty have got no increase

    if they increase the price you can end the contract without consequences

    I'd say that some of that €80 odd annual increase would be to do with the increase in the charge for non payment by direct debit , which is due to go up in August I think .

    Yeah I got a letter saying I was upto 30MB from 25MB and my bill would go up by around €2 a month from August. I assume €84 is for people who have the top of the range TV/phone/broadband packages.

    I'm seeing an increase from 25 to 30.

    Now I just need it to be a *little* more stable

    Have to be careful about this though. Got a letter saying they increased the price because they increased the speed (25mb-30mb even though it's still on ly registering as 15mb avg) BUT I have 30 days to downgrade.. I you dont downgrade then this is considered acceptance of a new contract. Which I think ties you in for another year (open to correction on this one).
