What exactly do you mean by a free upgrade?
The hardware is exactly the same, both at your end and at their end.
All they do is change something in the software.

The question you need to ask yourself is do you want to pay £38/month (does that include vat?), or can you get it cheaper. For example, Pipex is £33.99/month (inc vat) but has a startup fee, worth checking if you can drop the startup fee if you&#39;ve already got broadband - they want YOUR business.

the up grade is free coz they have to pay bt to change the pakage im on, i think now on home 500, its just like upgradeing the line or sumit like that

They don&#39;t have to do any hardware changes or line upgrades. Once you are connected, changing speeds is all done with software - If you are in Central London you can get 6mbps in the evenings/weekends but that drops to 512kbps during the day, costs around £100(+vat) per month from Bulldog Primtime. They don&#39;t have a little man switching it over at 6pm and 8am. Bulldog also provide 2mbps constant for £38(+vat), but again Central London only.

That&#39;s why I was saying that £38/month is expensive (if that&#39;s excluding vat the total is £44.65, VERY expensive), the &#39;free upgrade&#39; bit is total bollocks as there&#39;s nothing to upgrade.

Isn&#39;t Home 500 one of BT&#39;s products anyway? Why would they have to pay themselves to do almost nothing in the first place? And if you are with BT, you will get locked in to yet another 12 month contract, most providers have only one month contracts these days.

Get good, impartial information here, don&#39;t just rely on what your current isp tells you. [/b][/quote]
the cost is 38ponud a month thats with vat, if thats true about it being bullshit, how come when i looked into migrateing to another isp i had to go on to package as the same im on now, i.e bt home 500, and also i phoned that bulldog isp, to see about the 2meg conection and they said the samthing that i would have to pay a upgrade fee plus a migration fee? hey have all said the samthing its "bt" that makes all thes charges not them

to be truthfull all this is a nightmare

go for it - the more ppl that get it the cheaper it becomes sooner or later
