I still think that \u00a349.99 a month is much too expensive. Sure should offer 2 consumer broadband speeds, such as 8Mbit and 16Mbits, but with the &#8216;consumer&#8217; 40\/1 contention, rather than the Pro&#8217;s 20\/1 (which naturally would be more expensive anyway).<\/p>\n<p>If you think that in the past few years we have had the speed increased from 1, then to 2, then to 4, now to 8, that C&amp;W are actually doing more than they need to &#8211; they didn&#8217;t have to give everyone a free upgrade when you&#8217;re still paying the same price, but they did.
