Makes me laugh really - a lot of people are still living in the 56k modem age - spend too long online and download too much and your a bad bad person. While I agree that we pay a small price for what we get, just what is the point of offering a service that is on 24/7 and can download at 180KB/Sec + yet if you use it too much then you are indeed effecting all the people within a 100 mil radius, you bad bad boy.

Now I personally dont P2P, I hate it in fact - but take a few games and straight away your in with a chance of been classed as a bad person. Lineage 2 - comes in at 1.3 GIG. The you go get the updates - god loads there. MIR3, another 1+ gig and then update that.

Question here really, do the same things get talked about to death on ADSL forums as they dont seem to have any caps, surely the technoloy is the same (or similar). Another question, if i was a business user and paid for the 1.5mbit line say (at stupid prices like they do) then surely its got to be connected to the same lines at the end of the day? thus me as a business user downloading/uploading 24/7 will effect people will it not?

Is it not possible to clump the heavy users on certain UBRS thus each effecting each other? We in Britain need to push forward not go feking backwards here.... damm 300k

Actually Just had a thought - Motorways - UK pants, rest of world Brill.
Public Transport - Uk "delays and slow", rest of world Prompt and on time.
Comms - SDSL, 10mbit, Fribe etc - us - still living in the 56k modem era by the sounds of it.

Basically we are always last, we dont inovate, we suffocate, you never know in 10 years time we might have 3mbit line but dont hold your breath eh!
