Received the same message. However, I don't think I will be upgrading my connection to 25 MB though. 20 MB is more than enough for me. And they mess up a lot when they change ports. I am more than happy for SF reaching my area digging and deploying fiber, will be getting it as soon as they launch. Also PTCL will throttle like hell if they are increasing the packages, I wonder if they can cope up with the structure they have with the new packages. Pretty much speaks how they are scared of new fiber running ISP's.
I rang them up last night. They said the new rates are effective January 1, however, customers will have to call in to have their speeds upgraded (as in, no automatic upgrades). So - you might as well tell them to now, enjoy your upgraded speeds doe a few days, and then forget about it... Because PTCL won't upgrade your speeds unless you ask them (they'll upgrade the price though).

See how sneaky they are?

Also, you no longer have 50 free minutes to call cell phones from the landline after this price increase.

Additionally, the call center guy had no idea about the upload rates. He said wait till January 1.

Fiberlink are the biggest scammers PERIOD. Don't go for it. Even if they install the connection either you won't get the full speed or your link will be down half the time. Trust me, it's not worth it.

Let's see what happens, I may go for it. Since they can only upgrade to 25 mb for those who only have VDSL.

Is your connection ADSL? That would explain the unstable speeds. I'm getting about 16Mbps at peak and 18Mbps otherwise on mine.
