If they had said "The usage cap reduces from 40gb to 10gb, in line with the actual usage of the vast majority of our customers, so we are reducing the cost by £X" it would have made more sense.
Absolutely, totally agree!!! But they wouldn't reduce usage because there's already Base - so it would either be drop Base and just have 2 packages, or look for an alternative - in this case lower Usage...

should've been to 20GB, though...if anything...

Re: Mid/Everyday Monthly Usage stats from Sky

It made me laugh too!

It's that funny I'm just in the process of moving to O2!

It's even got the authentic spelling mistake that Sky always manage to include somewhere!

There's got to be more to these changes than meets the eye don't you think?

I'd better not. They may cut my bandwidth back even further, and with a 10GB cap on the way I can't afford to loose anymore

Agreed. But you don't expect three quarters of the Ice cream to be bitten off one you've paid for it. That's what is going to happen with everybody's monthy usage allowance if they're on Sky Mid.
