Nice to see a date put forward following the previously announced upgrades. Interested in the newer 2000/200 tier announced as well, as the higher upload speed will be really nice for pushing my excessively large photo backup onto backblaze, that said if it's priced too outrageously I'm not certain what the take-up would be for normal home users initially.

Yeah, that's not happening. They're desperate to push revenue per user up, so they keep hiking low speed prices to push people towards 100+ megabit plans.

They already lowered the wholesale prices earlier in the year to try and promote users to higher tiers and the helcos were all "passing these savings on to the end user could be bad, so we'll have to think about it" and then everyone went back to being price gouged
