In the post above I have credited Ianauth with quotes that should be attributed to scastle. For the sake of clarity the first 3 quotes in my post above are from Ianauth and the last 3 are from Scastle.

Applogies for this mistake.

I personally wouldn't know what you mean with the above statement. There's plenty of legitimate NG's out there. Don't know of any off the top of my head but I'm assured they are there ;)

I wouldn't say that most apps open 24/7 will consume the amount of bandwidth as p2p apps.

Video, only if constantly transmitting, which I can't imagine many people doing... VPN, again only if you're doing something on the Virtual Net.

Re: 1GB Cap Letter!!!!

Re: 1GB Cap Letter!!!!
 

Sorry to be a moaner, but I download a Maximum of 3Gigs per day, I feel that 8gigs is Excessive!!

Just my opinion tho :)

Re: 1GB Cap Letter!!!!
 

They could just call Customer Services for that..

Re: 1GB Cap Letter!!!!
 

I agree with you on this whole heartly, however it appears the penny counters have enough trouble investing in the email servers sometimes! How could they manage this? do you want to give em a heart attack ;)

also I assume the md of the company has broadband - wounder if he or any of the other directors are held to the cap????

Re: 1GB Cap Letter!!!!
 

Ahh the gold old capping argument rears it head again and see the same people agruing with the same stuff as when it was first brought out :)

I disagree that a "Normal" user should just check mail, browse the net and maybe d/l a few things so not slow down the serives for others - if all they wanted to do was that- hell they could achive the same thing on dial up - why pay £34.99 a month for 1mbit if thats the case?

Ive always said that the problem is not with D/L but def more with Uploading - less of the upload then the download otherwise they would have 600/256.

If they had rolled out fibre to houses somehow (not sure if this is possible like) to start with - although costing lots then surley in the long term could have passed BT ADSL ages ago - now it seems been left behind by it for some reason.

As for "abuse" - only people to loose out in my eyes is NTl at this point in time - why? Well if your lucky enough to have both ADSL and Cable - then soon as NTL say "bad Boy" then cancel - move to adsl who have no cap - there is enough adsl providors out there to move as soon as they change there service to CAPPED - upon checking not many do Capping (as in so much data per month) and the ones that do sell it as "lite" anyhow with the option to pay couple pound more for 'Uncapped' anyhow...

Re: 1GB Cap Letter!!!!
 

Those of you that got the cap letter, did you modify your downloading or are you still downloading more than 1 gig a day, if so, has anyone been further contacted ?


Just curious..especially with the price increase coming for 1 meg customers..

Cheers
