Title: Good news for a change from BT!
Post by: Mr Toad on February 22, 2005, 07:21:26 pm
I was about to switch broadband packages today when I came across this -

http://www.bt.com/broadband/news/

2mb upgrade for regular broadband users at no extra charge!!!

Dropped my pen in my coffee as I've always thought a bit ripped off with them before...

Can anyone recall where the link was to the website that tested your connection speed?

Thanks  Chris - I'm still running at 512 then (for now)...

I'll check that the 15 gb limit is unchanged...

Living in hope! T

I noticed this at the bottom of one of the BT web pages...

Free modem when you order online. £25 charge applies if you order by phone.

... how do you order on-line without a modem?  ::)

Blimey Steve, your speed at finding apt pics, never ceases to amaze (and amuse) me.
Plain old 'Steve Brown' just doesn't do you justice, you need a nickname that does you proud...
