Damn, not having other users paying extra to subsidise you using as much as 10 or more of them, nasty
(NB 5% of users use 60+% of the average ISP's bandwidth, and no I don't give a s**t about 'congestion' vs 'usage', timing downloads, etc, etc, that's for a capping thread. Just giving facts as they are in this context.
3Mbit at that price, with that traffic alowance, take it or leave it, no-one's gonna put a gun to your head and tell you to either upgrade or stop download dodgy stuff.
No it isn't metering. Metering would be making you pay per GB downloaded, which at a guess would bankrupt you fairly quickly, this is keeping the price sane and within reach of more people while supplying a service compatible with most users requirements.
Sorry if I sound like a broken record there but that's my take, and I'm jealous of those who can avail themselves of what I think is a really really good deal.
