Anyone reverted to fixed rate broadband?

Has anyone found MaxDSL so unstable that they have requested their ISP to
move them back to the old fixed rate service? Which ISPs have agreed to do
so? What was the outcome?

I have reverted back to 2 meg broadband from what should of been 7(ish) Meg
I'm about 1200m from the exchange copper all the way to the DP, but had
nothing but bother with max. My ISP BT Yahoo and they refunded me a months
fee too.

Well done, Patchy! Is your "new" 2 mb broadband as stable and fast as it
used to be? Some ISPs are issuing dire warnings that if punters revert they
may find that speed may not be as good as it used to be, etc.

Nah it's as it was, my 2 Meg connection is rock solid. On the advice of a
mate who's in the Broadband team I'll try and re-grade back to MAX in 3 or 4
months.
My upto 8 meg service was terrible, getting near dial up speeds at some
points. If your having bother I would suggest reverting back to 2 Meg.

Zen won't allow us to revert back. A solid reason I have stayed on the
unlimited, but slower 512 deal.
