Whoop whoop. Sorry though, I was a week out in my estimate.
I wonder what will be happening to the speeds for March though. Do we go back to the old speeds for a month and then up to the new ones on 1 April?

Probably take the month for Openserve to make the new profiles and what not and then rollout starting from the 1st of April.

No love for the OS 500Mbit/250Mbit people?

We're on double speed at the moment though. So back to original speed for a month before the new profiles kick in?
Right. So if I was on a 25/25 and the free promo pushed it to 50/50, I may as well downgrade back to 25/25 if my speeds will go up to 40/40 in April anyway.Openserve announces fibre speed upgrades

If you were on 25/25 and you opted in to the promo, you would then also have gotten the network wide bump pushing you to 100. Opting out again you'll be back at 40 when the dust settles

Unless you choose to stay I guess, get the double upgrade or go back down for the month and then semi back up in April.

It's not a choice - they bumped everyone on 25 or 50 up to double speed for the last three months.

I meant the opt in one but yes, back down for a month and then up again in April I'm guessing.

Sounds good. Would have been nice if the double-speed promo was kept with the current prices.

They have announced that they're bumping up the speeds. Still waiting on ISPs to confirm if there's any pricing changes

Reminder that today's the 20th with no email received for the manual opt-in. I just downgraded manually

LOL, sadly not...that's why I'm on the 2nd fastest package, as you usually also gain something when they announce free speed upgrades

Gonna put a stink on my love for AH if they pull a kak move like this.
@AfriNatic are they planning to communicate anything to clients or what's happening here?

Hello
Please note that in the mail received in January confirming the promo extension, it was communicated that all downgrades to clients initial speed will be processed on the 23rd of this month.
