Re: Traffic Shaping (again)

That was my point earlier though, it's just junk. It says your use is subject to the limits applicable to 'your internet services'. Those are defined in the table. Which says it's unlimited. So my 4mbit is unlimited. So it's saying my usage is subject to the provision that I don't use it over an unlimited amount. That is just not logical.

For example further down 20.2 it says

Quote:
Freedom Internet Service4

(download speed) Monthly Usage Allowance

(downstream &/or upstream) Monthly Price
Up to 1Mb 5GB £17.99
Up to 1Mb with a telephone service 30GB From £16.99p
Which provides caps for this service. So to construe this term as a whole, they clearly provide caps for the 'Freedom' service and NOT ours.

In sum, the limit to my applicable internet service is 'unlimited'. Which is non-sequitur. I know NTL used to have another provision in there for FUP a while back, because that's a reason I never went to them. Then they removed it and that's why I joined.

Still I'm not a heavy user and i'm suffering. So are tons of people in the 'speed test' thread.

Edit: and thank you Stuart for referring me to this:

The changes were introduced months ago. I have still yet to receive any information. If it wasn't for 'undercover' work there wouldn't even be an announcement on this main page. They're meant to tell us even before the changes are introduced.
