You have to expect that sometimes the "Network" will go down, there are loads of reasons why that can happen. But you know when that is the case, as everything is effected by it. Not some sites are dead and some load as normal.

When you are on a Tracker, and after an hour you have managed to connect to a few seed/peers - your speed is 5k - you try another and another and another and they all do exactly the same thing (and they are all KNOWN sites) you have to wonder what is happening. When you grab a Linux distro and you are connected 20 seeds/peers in a matter of seconds and with only a hanful of connections the thing is complete in 15mins you wonder even more. When you link to a Torrent you can't connect to and send it to someone on a BT line and it works fine, even more. And then a week later the problem vanishes full stop never to be seen again (so far) you know so.

It does make me wonder what would happen if they stopped you from downloading a few types of things
Pirate Bay loose that court case and we may be finding out sooner rather than later. My guess is the uptake of the "New Fastest Connection" wont be the way it has been over the last five years. As you say, 1Mbit is fine, I would be happy with 5Mbit. The only reason I went to 25 ws for the 100k upload, ratios n all. Don't need it anymore. Don't really need 25 anymore, when does it ever hit 2Mb/s ordering a DVD from Play? Steam never gets close to 1Mb let alone 2Mb. I have grabbed MP3 I have purchased from Play and it never comes in faster than 500K/s

Obviously I can't speak for the rest of you, but I am deffo dropping back to the cheapest tier. But you wont be able to watch Eastenders in HD on iPlayer they will say! LOL.
