So it begins eh.

Although I object to limiting an unlimited service I'm inclined to accept that those people who are using the service 24/7 full whack should have their usage restricted a little.

The 1gb a day guideline isn't that bad in reality. But I just don't agree at all with it being applied on a daily basis. I'd be happier if the 1gb a day guideline was taken over the course of a month, or even fortnightly. The daily usage limit is too easy for people to exceed even if they are not placing a burden on the network in the long term. I say give us 30gb a month and relax the restrictions outside peak times. I agree with lessening the peak time burden on the network but the 1gb cap doesn't actually achieve that anyway.
