WOW! That's quite an increase for the same price!

Now I have 6Mbps / 1.5 Mbps.
20 / 2 is max over here; but it would cost me double :cry: (60 euro/month)

Enjoy your new speed 8)

At current AUD to USD exchange rates, I'm paying the equivalent of USD ~$53 a month.

I've been very happy with 4Mbps / 512Kbps ... but since I came directly from using 56K dial-up, I'm easy to satisfy (in this one regard, at least :wink: )

I can't imagine what it must be like to have 30Mbps / 1Mbps !!
