Just wanted to let all Sympatico users here know that Bell recently upgraded their service plans to include higher speeds for the price of older and slower packages, but haven't upgraded any existing services.

My girlfriend was paying for 128kb service, when the new updated service is 500kbps for the same price.

I was paying for 5Mb Ultra service when the 10Mb service was being offered at that price.

So my girlfriend called, complained and got a free month's service and the 500kbps service at no extra charge.

I called, and had my service 'downgraded' from 5Mbps to 7Mbps, saving me $10/mo.

So if you're with sympatico, you best check your current service and check the bell site for their current speeds -- you could be paying too much, or not getting all the speed you're entitled to!

This has been a public service announcement.

Please note that changing 'updating' your service to a new plan may result in bandwidth caps .. as nefcanuck mentions below caveat emptor
