[QUOTE="phil d, post: 452932, member: 27126"] Virgin did the same, I started off on 20 meg broadband, they kept sending me letters asking if I wanted to upgrade to 40 meg, I ignored them, after about 6 months I got a letter, "Dear Phil, we're upgrading you to 40meg for free". About 6 months later it started again, would I like to upgrade to 50 meg? I ignored it, again I got it for free, then 60 meg, and again I got it for free, I would never pay for an upgrade. I don't need really high speeds, plus I remember when I worked for VM, they were just bringing out 20meg at the time, and it wasn't cheap, they told us that at the time the majority of customers wouldn't achieve those speeds, due to various technical issues, but not to tell the customer this. It's the same with fibre, having fibre to the node has no big improvement on your speeds so it isn't worth paying for, plus if they want to go fibre to node they are going to do it anyway, and everyone connected to that node gets the same speed. It would have to be fibre to the house to have any massive improvement, and that is some time away from happening at the moment. [/QUOTE]
