I must be missing something as if you go from your 8000 Active to the current Active the price stays at your existing £25.32 so why not just swap to the current Zen Active? It works with ADSL in that at my distance from my cabinet my router connects on ADSL.

The issue being that the email makes no mention of the option to move to one of the newer, cheaper, packages.

Zen is often held up as a better alternative to the "big boys", but they don't seem to be playing any fairer than them.

They might not mention it in the email but it could still be an option so I would ring them to find out what the options actually are. If they no longer deal with 20 CN exchanges it would be worth knowing for everybody.

I am assuming the website price will alter in July.

I will ring Zen tomorrow to try and sort this out

BT Retail looks like your best bet, since they do not have split pricing for Market 1 exchanges.

Does anyone know what price Zen 8000 Lite will be after the price hike?

£19.20 inc vat, judging by my screen capture.

Unfortunately customers on IPStream Connect only exchanges are somewhat limited in choice. I know someone on an IPSC-only exchange with BT and it seems to be fine, although they are hoping to upgrade to fibre when it is available.

As one of those people who only has 20CN available, I do feel a bit miffed at the pay an extra 20%+ or get lost message from Zen.

We're expecting FTTC to be connected up around here by the summer, and once bitten, twice shy as they say.

It does raise a question. Has BT Wholesale hiked the cost of IPstream Connect recently? Perhaps MrSaffron can find out?

Usage is way higher than it used to be. 20CN bandwidth is considerably more expensive than 21CN per Mbps. That's the kicker.
