I would agree that the break point between medium and small looks to be in the wrong place (or right place, depending on which side of the fence you sit!).

We have 1 x /21 as our first allocation and 1 x /20 as our second as we used up the first /21 and under the new charging structure we have suddenly become medium because of the extra /21 and are facing a significant price hike.

I very much like the idea that I saw where the charges were on a sliding scale, as this strikes me a being far fairer. I know we should pay more for our allocation than someone with a single /21 but I also feel we should pay less than someone with a /16.

My thoughts for what they are worth.
