This is all down to BT upgrading the telephone exchanges to the fastest speeds possible. Most ISPs are allowing people to upgrade to a faster speed for nothing or a very small fee. The speed depends on your distance from the exchange. If you live near it, some people are saying they have speeds of 4 or 5 mbps. I live miles away (I'm actually in a different county to my exchange) so I only got upgraded to 1.1mbps. You should get an email or phone call telling you all about it.

One of the ISP in my country also gives surprise upgrades to their services to grab more trust and loyalty of the customers.
Recently they upgraded all of their 1500kpbs users to 3000kbps without even notifying them.
It's only like when everyone has been upgraded then the ISP releases the news.
It was like one to two months later before announcement..
