Can't say I particularly like them. I don't download very often at all, when I do need to occasionally download something the limits are so low the limits are hit in no time. I'm on un-upgraded XL (30Mb). I've probably downloaded a Gb or 2 in the last couple of months, today I want to download a new beta of game ~10Gb and of course it hits the STM almost straight away.

I need someone to correct me here if I'm wrong with my maths, but 30Mb = 3.75Mb/sec download right? and limit is 3500 ? So after barely using my download for x months, I use my connection at its rated value for ~16 mins and I'm a heavy user ? Pretty much 16 mins worth in 3 months = heavy use ? Seriously ?
