24Mb ADSL (ADSL2 & ADSL2+) is limited to distance so don't all get excited. Only those people who live within 2km-2.5km from the local exchange may be able to get 24Mb. However in reality only about half of those eligible will be able to even get 15Mb.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news people!

Blueyonder isn't and have stated they have no intention of doing so in the future either.

Do ya really need a 10Mb connection though? And to be paying £35 month is a lot of money, £420 year to use the internet.

I'd rather stick to my 2Mb Tiscali and pay £18 month.

It depends on if ya need that kinda bandwidth though i suppose. But if ya don't need it, why pay extra for it?

I know It's the original Freeserve set up which we have never changed. When they became Wanadoo they tried to convince us to switch to the 512 wanadoo package ad get a free upgrade to 1mb, but looking at the details I found out the wanadoo package was capped, so thought bollox to that and stayed where I am...

Now all this talk of 1mb and 2mb uncapped lines for £20 odd quid is making me think of switching..... But to who, and for how much?

Oh is it?

Still can't find the 2.2mb one for £15.99 - I'd be happy to pay an extra £1 for a little bit more speed......
