I see BT recently announced speed increases which will probably affect everyone else (http://www.adslguide.org.uk/newsarchive.asp?item=2087) so prices may be a bit fluid at the moment.
Funny you mention that, my ISP (PlusNet) sent me an email today stating two major changes to their service as of April.
1. They are introducing a (sort of) cap, in that if you exceed what they determine fair use (for my plan that is 30GB/Month) for two consecutive months then you are throttled back to 128kbs for a month or given the option to purchase a temporary or permanent upgrade.
2. All customers on anything but the 14.99 supersaver plan, whose lines support it can get an upgrade to 2Mb/256 for free !
Seems well fair to me, 30GB/month is generous (and traffic between 1am-8am doesn't count) and far more than I need/use at the moment and the upgrade to 2Mb will be gratefully received, particularly for free.
