Nildram introduces caps

Quote:

Nildram is clamping down on broadband hogs by imposing new usage caps for its consumer high speed service.

Although the Pipex-owned ISP doesn't detail the extent of the problem, it does say the introduction of a fair usage policy will "address the issue of heavy Internet usage".

Nildram - which has 40,000 broadband punters - is introducing a usage limit of 50 Gig a month for non-business customers, which applies between 8.00am - 12.00 midnight. Outside of this time, no usage limit will apply.

From July, punters who exceed the 50 Gig limit will either see their service speed choked to 64k for the rest of their billing month, they can buy extra bandwidth at 99p a Gig.

My ISP has decided to do this now, I can't say I'm really happy with it but if it gets rid of the bandwidth whores then it's all good.

I tell you who is to blame for caps though...actually I don't need to tell you, Mr Aizad Hussain can answer that one. :dozey:

I think as far as capping stratergies go, this is one of the better ones. I think though it will be harder to keep track of how many gig you download in the restricted hours.
