Now there's a compete cock up if there ever was one...seems like they

Yup, and an expensive one at that.

They'd started upgrading lines to 2mbit and now they've been downgraded
again.
As far as I know, BT charge for the regrades at about £12 per line, so thats
a heck of an expensive change of plan.

Home line was running at 1mbit, that was upped to 2mbit about 2 weeks ago
and now it's back down to running at 1mbit.

Given the change in policy I'd assumed that had taken place in all cases,
rather than ours being a one off?
