Isnt that false advertising then? Im sure they can be sued for doing that ;)

Re: So 2mb users, how much are you gonna download tomorrow
 

I got my bill this morning, and it says on it 'Merry Xmas & Happy New Year! We are improving our Broadband services: 1. No more usage allowance for 1mb & 2mb. Get unlimited Internet access from Jan 06'

My download habits won't change - but It's nice not having to keep an eye on how much I DO download.

Re: So 2mb users, how much are you gonna download tomorrow
 

not at all - it is 'unlimited' - but subject to their terms & conditions, which provide for removal of accounts showing 'unreasonable' use ;)

Re: So 2mb users, how much are you gonna download tomorrow
 

Nope you'll find the usual disclaimers about being subject to conditions I'm afraid, so you'll have to hold off from having that upstream saturated on your website all the time ;)

ntl has (or had when I was there) a rather oversized legal team who had next to everything put through them and they aren't that stupid.

Re: So 2mb users, how much are you gonna download tomorrow
 

Its isnt saturated, its limited to 10KB/s maximum. Doesnt matter how many people try and download, the most it will give out is 10KB/s. Plus, my server uses about 2GB/m at present. I doubt it will be go much higher.

Re: So 2mb users, how much are you gonna download tomorrow
 

I am gonna be nagging the gf to let me move to 3mb with the higher cap :d

Re: So 2mb users, how much are you gonna download tomorrow
 

you mean 10mbit? with a 75gb/month cap

Re: So 2mb users, how much are you gonna download tomorrow
 

Seeing how I dont even use 30GB, im going to upgrade for the higher upload speed mainly.

Re: So 2mb users, how much are you gonna download tomorrow
 

How do you know that you dont use 30gb Abyss?

Re: So 2mb users, how much are you gonna download tomorrow
 

any decent webserver has logs which show the bandwidth used
or it could be something as simple as dumeter

Re: So 2mb users, how much are you gonna download tomorrow
 

Yip 10mb with a 75gb cap im moving to asap.

Re: So 2mb users, how much are you gonna download tomorrow
 

Exactly. My global logs show less than 2gb/month on average, and I myself use about 10GB/m just browsing etc.

Re: So 2mb users, how much are you gonna download tomorrow
 

This sounds a bit confusing compared to what we've been hearing before (I've have no info about unlimited either by the way). My understanding was we're all being moved to 10mbit eventually, but the differences in tariff would be down to how much you could download (75gb on top tier).

So does this now mean we won't automatically be moved to 10mbit, but can stay on 2mbit with unlimited downloads instead?

I also notice the news page said the broadband plus conetent is free now if you're on 2mbit, is this right? Would be good to try it if it was, as I've always avoided it because of the extra fees involved.

Re: So 2mb users, how much are you gonna download tomorrow
 

well as far as i know sometime this year all 1mb and 2mb customers will be given the option to move to 10mb for the same price with a certain limit

Re: So 2mb users, how much are you gonna download tomorrow
 

But whats the point in 10Mbps if you have a crap limit of say 30gb/month? There are ISP's in sweden that offer 24Mbps unlimited, so whats stopping NTL doing this except for congestion? If its congestion then why dont they get their act together and do something about it? If other countries can do it, whats to say we can't!?!?!
