Can ppl confirm if
A.) the price has changed and
B.) there is a cap? and
C.) the Contention ratio is changed!!! ?? and finally just as a side note any ideas when the upgrade is going ahead? (i dont want this thread turning into a IBB upgrade dates thread and being locked as there is one already so only post dates if they are solid as sidenotes)

I'm concerned that the product has changed A LOT without being told by anyone.

I thought it was:

€48.40 inc VAT
no cap (fairness policy)
20:1 Contention Ratio

(at least it was when i signed up a few months ago)

As far as i no everyone is getting upped to 2mb. have you done a speed test?My trails ended yesterday and i am connected at about 2mb.

its trial, not trail You'd walk on a mountain trail, but take part in a trial .

I'd say they just didn't bother taking you off 2meg. There'd be no point because you'd be put straight back on it once the upgrade happens, which should be soon i assume. I'm still on 1meg in evenings , and 256k in the moring/afternoons :mad:
