Broadband - Should I downgrade?

I am currently on a BT Broadband (Option 3 @ 24.99/month) subscription. TBH I think it's a waste of money because I don't go onto the internet as much as I used to. I use it 2/3 hours a day tops, download about 10 songs a week (at the most) and use it for reading emails, posting here, research and "other things".
Do you think I should and how easy would it be to switch to another package with BT?
Cheers

but as for what you're using the internet for, you dont really need more than 1MB/s for that, maybe even 512Kb/s (unless of course the "other things" movies are large files )
downgrading should be easy, they just fiddle stuff at their end, just phone their customer support
hehe I know what you mean
in that case ignore the first line of my reply, but the others still apply :yes:
I doubt you'll notice much difference downgrading, (besides the price) unless you're power using or gaming; especially if you're the only one using the connection
i recently had to go back to dial up at home as a stray crossbow bolt went through my pc.
been out and got another pc and signed up to madasafish ...twelve quid a month first six months then 18 quid a month ...5mg limit.
I switched from Pipex to PlusNet and pay £14.99 a month for unlimited downloads at whatever the maximum speed your line will support up to 2mb/s
if you want a recommend a friend link let me know!
I had problems at 2mb/s so they got me on 1mb/s and been fine ever since - technical support is very good with them.
BTW - are you on the PAYG or Plus package?
