So i'm a bandwidth abuser eh, I work from home mostly doing video editing and constantly download and upload to the works server via their upload 2Mbps connection meaning I'm downloading from them at around 240Kbps, at that speed which is a FIFTH of the speed I'm paying for I'll still break their limits within 3.5 hours.

Having said that, they'll then throttle my bandwidth to 5mbps (I think) which will then enable me to continue AT THE VERY SAME SPEED which caused me to be a 'bandwidth abuser' as you called me.

So all this decision has done is to pee me off, which isn't hard at the moment because i'm now heading into my 3rd week of getting a service of less than 1Mbps, more time on the phone today being told there is no problem and being asked to do stupid tests
