Hi Dean - thanks for the link, yes I've been looking at those download
speeds, but as I'm not sure what I am getting on this pay as you go 2GB
package, I can't say if there's any difference. All packages have 12 am to
8am as free download time -
Andy

| You'll find this useful, its a list of the

| option 3 and in the last few days I get 30 GB
| instead of 20 and still for the same £20. Also,
| I get free usage between 12 AM and 8 AM I don't
| know if that applies to all packages.
