My god, reading this thread does open your eyes to some hugely dodgy bandwidth usage, and plain ignorance to the fact that if everyone overused ANY ISP's network, they would be brought to a halt.

Seeing people say they have downloaded up to 267GB a month and see nothing wrong with it is absurd, I mean come on, my HD is 200GB for example, within 20 days i would have filled it :O

The cap trigger isnt bad (its usally based on 3 days of +1GB or continued overusage over a longer period of time), and Ive occasionally hit up to 2GB a day, but then during the week my usage is near zero due to work,

I think ntl should make broadband medic mandatory, and put a bandwidth meter in it, that way everyone will know thier usage, and not complain when they get a letter through when they've downloaded 100GB of hooky software :p
