Yay! After almost 2 months of waiting (whatever happened to the claim of 3 days on the BT Net webpage?),
Change your bandwidth to suit your seasonal business demands and control your costs by only paying for the bandwidth you need.
You can flex bandwidth within the capacity of your bearer circuit (this is the maximum bandwidth that you’ll ever need that we agree when you buy your leased line) with only 72 hours notice.
Your rental charge will change on a pro rata basis for the period of flex, so you can pay less in quieter periods.
Anyway, BT have finally managed to flex it down to 20 Mbps for testing purposes. And guess what, it doesnt deliver 20 Mbps. Lowest has been 17,965,902 bps, highest has been 19,238,180 bps. Less of a percentage error than at 100 Mbps (lowest there was 31,865,911 bps, highest was 93,468,819 bps, but still not making the contractual speeds.
Its somewhat cut short the tests we planned, as the thought was that we would flex the speeds up incrementally to find the point where contracted speed and actual speed started to diverge. But it doesnt even do it at 20 Mbps. So I don't expect it to at 40, 60, 80, etc. In any case, with 2 months per flex, it would be a rather drawn out test!
Looks like BT have some explaining to do. If nothing else it lends weight to contract cancellation on failure to deliver contract conditions.
