Friends, currently I am on 900 UL + plan. However I plan to shift to 500 plan from next month ...the reasons are as follows

<1> Even if I get 1mbps, I can download the same amount in 6 hours (2 a.m. - 8 a.m.) that I can download during the whole day in 256 kbps . I think 2.5 GB is enough for net surfing during the day.
<2> My machine stays on for less amount of time.
<3> I plan to buy a RS premium monthly account with the remaining amount of money. This way I can resume downloads at night...and downloads from ftp will be completed faster.

I read in some other forum that 900 users will be upgraded to 512kbps from April 2007...might be a rumour though.

So what do you think...am I taking a wise decision ? :confused:

Also when does a RS monthly account start...the day I buy it or the day I start using the same (for e.g. two weeks after I bought it) ? :confused:

Supposing I submit the application for plan change on 23rd this month, will my plan be changed from Feb?

A Rapidshare premium account starts the same day as you bought.

If this is rumour.. but can we have some more light on the root of rumour ?

Thought its a pleasant rumour for 900 UL users.

I had the same dilemma but then decided to keep UL 900 itself
I work as a System Administrator so I could not possibly download from 0200-0800 as I work mostly in Night Shifts
