If they do *enforce* (as yet, it's only a letter asking to lower uasge) the 1gb/day cap for all tiers, then, has been said before, there OWN Broadband Plus will be a waste.

I signed up for the 3 month freebe, chances of me subscribing now .. zero

Broadband Britain ? .. no chance.

Every user has his/hers own usage patterns, and to say 30g a month is Enough, then thats ok for a single user, what about the ones with familes? they would use more.

I use online radio, from digitally imported and chillout at radiomax.nu (just two out of a few I listen to alot) , now some days, this can be left on playing to it's self in the background.. even if i'm not at the computer.. now some of the streams are 256kbit, most are 192kbps (I think thats about 12-20k sec), so just on the usage of the online radio... thats almost a gig a day, assuming it's not turned off.

I do not turn off my computer, just my speakers. The chances of me changing, after years on the net is nil.

They introduce packages, then say we can't use them.. but they still want to take our monies.
