If someone is on a contract for £32 a month, 30mb speed, can they downgrade to 10mb with no penalties?

Anyone know??

    I don't think you can reneg on a contract. You can change it after the validity of the contract ends.

    But bear in mind that any change of tariff/package starts you on a new 12m contract with VM.
