Downloaded 1.65Gb of data earlier this evening (16th August 2008). Then went and watched a film on TV, come back some 2 hours later, now capped at 600kb/sec.

So - it looks like I've been capped again, way way under the limit VM claim to cap people. This isn't the first time this has happened - in fact, only about 6 weeks ago did I complain I was inappropiately capped to receive an apology and be told that indeed I'd been wrongly restricted.

Thankfully, my years contract is up in 6 weeks - I'll be serving 6 weeks notice of my cancellation on Monday morning. I've had it up to my eyeballs with this bunch of idiots.

The UK's most expensive consumer grade broadband - it's 00:30 and I'm getting one of the slowest commercially available speeds in the UK. Again.

But remember kids - it's unlimited. Like a dripping tap - it's unlimited water folks. Just don't expect to survive in the desert when those drips come once every 60 minutes or so.
