Grr... We're with Virgin ADSL broadband and they've capped us. We're in a student house with 5 users (it's secure) but we don't excessively download anything. The occasional song but no movies or streaming. So why have we been capped?

About 10 days ago i downloaded some programming software which was about 100MB, do you think this could have caused it?

Is there anything we can do? They are saying we'll be capped between 4 and midnight until Sunday. Which is sooo annoying.

Having spoken to them again i've been told that we've gone over 5G. This is ridiculous... there's no way we've gone over 5G. My housemates are all yelling at me... i'm the only one who understands computers/networks in our house, so apparently it's all my fault.
