# They offer 1mb and 2mb at 20:1 contention
those are not trials.

But they recently started offering 1mb and 2mb at 50:1 contention (meaning you could easily upgrade from regular 512 to 1mb without a lot of hassle) - but it's still in trial (all orders must be placed manually, the automated system is still in development).

# The system I mean is with an ISP placing an order with BT for a line upgrade or regrade, it's the same for all ISPs.
It sounds like you got the new trial 50:1 package (32.99 - the 20:1 was a lottt more expensive).
