The unsociable downloading you are saying isn't totaly true with the present capping system as anyone regardless of what they have downloaded all day, week, month and year is caught. Not just those who constantly abuse the network. I seldom download large files but i build websites for a hobby plus beta test for Microsoft so large files would occsianally be downloaded. I have never used any P2P program wouldn't know where to start using one and have no wish to start now. But if I downloaded a legit software program I will fall foul of this present system. This I feel is where VM have failed the occasional large file downloader, they are not looking at the overall picture for the connection just a 20/40min snapshot. Sadly this is where my complaint comes from and I have always paid full price for my connection, ADSL is now coming cheaper and we seem to be going the other way dearer with restrictions. With ADSL if you have the lower cap you pay less than £25 on ADSL I could have 30GB/300GB £24.99 upto 8MB
