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!

this is indeed IS all to do with your download rates, im still on the 4mb right now, but if i download or play alot of gaming all day, then the speed gets capped from 4pm - 9pm weekdays (peak hours)
i would suggest checking your speed before 4pm, after 4pm, and then again about 9.30pm, on different days, with different usage habits.
this way you may be able to avoid getting capped as much in the future.
[EDIT] i almost forgot, it looks to me as if you only get capped if you are using the service exessivly during the peak hours, i dont think the amount you use the service before 4pm and after 9pm matters.
