I put my migration request into zen monday might and its already been done

speed wise i was predicted 6.5 meg but getting 4-5 at the moment. I think for the first 10 days they alter your rate to see what your connection can support

No capping
No shaping
No limits
Free migration
Monthly contract
Fixed I/P

Couple of quid a month more than Plusnet , but worth it just to not have to cope with their moving target that is a fair usage policy....
Yes it all sounds well n good, but how long will the no limits offered last? Look at Zen, they said they had no intention of introducing caps, limiting bw etc, and now they are doing exactly that. Any ISP that uses BT Wholesale cannot offer truly unlimited connections for much longer.

Can't believe Zen have introduced bandwidth caps. I thought I was paying extra for a premium provider - what a load of pikeys. I know a guy in Paris who gets 22mbits uncapped for less than £30 a month, and that includes TV and video on demand!

Thumbs down

I notice alot of the ISPs are not increasing their download limits with MaxDSL (Zen have actually introduced limits!).

It seems pointless giving people larger connections if they can't use them. Surely this is going to hinder streaming video and stuff they want to push?

50GB a month on 8mbps is woeful!

20GB Cap on my once un-capped connection.

That was one of the reasons i went for Zen, we shall see how it goes if i'm breaching the Cap often then i'll look at switching :\

My current useage is well below the 20gb cap according to the bloke on the end of the phone. But with more speed at my finger tips i'm not sure how long that will last!
