spoke to them last night and after they tried and tried to fob me off, the server is capping me. Something to do with the amount I download and playing online games, she said try not playing any game in the day and see if the server still caps you at night!

So all I've got to look forward to is a slow down in any game I play after about 20 mins, its a bloody rip off, I pay for 4MB but in the small print it says 'up to' 4MB so they have you by the b**ls.

They gave me some bull about if I download at a fast speed then I slow other people's Internet down, how the hell am I overriding other peoples speeds? I am on some sort of priority line that nick's bandwidth off other users. Pack of lies me thinks.

I'm gonna look for somewhere else that doesn't cap your speed!
