1) We ARE limited no matter what anyone inc the Mod says, the fact is if I drive on the M1 and am made to leave it after 5miles cause of roadworks then
I'm limited on my use of the M1, in the same sense as if I can use the M1 from start to finish but there is a speed restriction of 50MPH, its still a limit imposed on me.

2) This constant figure of 5% of high users its crap, there is a report on this forum or the other big forum showing the bottom/middle/high end users, the high end are approx 5% and do not take up the whole system, the middle average "Joe 6 Pack" user consumes most of the networks traffic, and at the end of the day the high end users had the same habits while we were on 512K, then 1meg, then 2meg, then 3meg, then 4meg and then 10meg while it was good for a period of time before NTL merger with TW-BY (takeover IMO).

You have your ISP to blame for takiing on more and more custmers in areas that were at limit of users for the design of the network, now most if not all UBR's are oversubscribed, a expression you didnt hear till recently and you can also read on these forums about how they dont dig deep and speed the profits on upgrading the network, they run it with a bare minium of a budget. (think it was yesterdays news)
