I've noticed the 20 Mbps upload cap has already come off tonight, anyone else getting it?

Enable has been 200/100 for a around a year most ISP’s. I’m only aware of Skinny sticking with the 20 upload.
I don’t think there was a media release about the upload upgrade of 20 to 100.

If Spark take this up, I can’t see 2degrees keeping me in a years time. If they stick to 100/20 for Christchurch then not on list.
2degrees haven't done 100/20 in Christchurch for a long time. 200/20 was the standard for quite a while.
200/100 has been the baseline since August 2020 for 2d UFB via Enable.

Any comment made here is my own and should not be taken as that of my employer. You've seen one of these statements before.

In the “If They”, I was referring to Spark being that speed. I have 2degrees for $75, 200/100 which I guess will go to the 300 one. For some reason Spark to date only pass’s on the Chorus upgrades which I think is a stink.
If Spark does take up the Enable offer, it means for another $10, can get Netflix, which is around $8.50 cheaper then adding Netflix onto 2degrees. Also I could dump Sky, and when Sky has something want to watch get Neon a bit cheaper.
Also I have to phone 2degrees to get the $75 price, otherwise after a year I’m back on $89. I don’t really fancy holding onto the phone for hours waiting for them to answer it to get a competitive deal.
I don’t want to go back to 100/20, and if 300/100 becomes new base plan with most, not interested in paying Spark $100 for the gig plan.
And then if ISP’s decide charge extra for the 300/100, I can go the other way, keep Sky and get the Gig speed for $79 with Sky. Also an option if Spark doesn’t take up Enables offer. I’m also interested in seeing what new Sky Box offers, if it can stream 4K movies it may be of more interest to me then Netflix.
I was on 100mbps Fibre via Enable & Spark and just did a speed test on the off chance this morning and found I've already been upgraded to 300/100..nice surprise. No communication from either company however. MySpark still shows me as on a 100 plan..so I assume this was planned...
Nothing happens by accident :) [Well almost nothing!]

I've got the upgrade - Christchurch on Voyager. Just tested.
I'm on Bigpipe in Christchurch and not seeing the changes. Does it require a power cycle or anything or "just work"? I'm currently on a 200/20 plan.

Looks like my Bigpipe+Enable 200/20 connection got the boost to 300/100 sometime earlier today. Didn't have to power cycle or anything.
Skinny were very fast, but it wasn't automatic.

Mine too. A pleasant surprise to come home to.
Thanks - my Enable/Bigpipe has automagically increased as well :-)
I'm on a fairly standard Fibre 100 plan with Spark in Auckland and discovered the upgrade had kicked in when they sent me an email today.
