Show me a connection in this country where you can get this speed please. I see none!!
You are talking KB/s and not kb/s right? On my 1 MB I get 120KB/s Max so on your assumption that must be like a 4-5MB line?? Far better than us me thinks ??
And on the subject of "HOW CAN YOU GUYS DOWNLOAD 1 GB A DAY?? IT IS IMPOSSIBLE!!"
There are now many movie sites on the web now where you pay a monthly rate and can download films instead of buying/renting them. Divx is just one example. These films are often over 700MB. So you pay your £35 for 1MB broadband and your membership to download these films (LEGALLY)............But oh wait........you already downloaded a film earlier and downloading another would violate the 1GB a day so you are not getting the most from your membership, so why have it?? And if you cannot have that membership there is no need for a 1MB line.........So in that case NTL's 150K option looks good coz all you can do is read emails and browse the web........And while you are there you had better stop your mates from sending you funny pics and video clips coz hey.....remember the CAP!!!
