The Playground

I had a most unexpected Christmas present from my Internet Service Provider, Pacific Internet (who have since changed their name to PACNET).

As a reward for continued support, they offered to boost the speed of my current DSL service to 1500kbps, all for the same monthly fee that I'm currently paying.

That's right, they tripled my DSL speed at no additional cost with no plan or speed-change fees involved. All I needed to do was continue using their service for a further 6 months. That's not a hard ask when I was already happy with the plan I had.

The offer was only available to existing PacNet Express Off-Peak customers and not made available to the general public. I felt like for once I got something for nothing!
