I do have the "L" package. I am not wanting a totally uncontended service, i am wanting a service that is no worse than i have at the moment. But according to some, Virgin are moving towards Monthly caps as part of their acceptable use policy. And if you read the posts on this thread, some of the suggestions beggar belief. By all means, have a capped monthly amount, but make it realistic and also take into account what time of day the downloads happen.

At the moment, and for the last few years, I can download, say, 10gb a night between midnight and 8am and not be penalised, but if they bring in a monthly cap, there is a good chance that i will be. Is that progress? I think not. Also, if the network struggles to cope if i download at full speed on a 10Mb service, then how can they justify adding or upgrading more connections on the network, especially if these new connections are 30Mb or even 50Mb.
