4) there is no monthly limit. If you download a tonne of stuff (terabytes) they send you a letter asking you to move your downloading to during the night but if you dont use p2p or download a lot you wont have a problem
If what you say is indeed true, that STM is in effect in between 3 and 4, isn't this a breach of contract? Has no one ever challenged it?

I don't use P2P or torrents, but my downloads can add up when you count iTunes, BBC iPlayer HD, 4oD, Steam, Microsoft Corporate, TechNet & MSDN ISO downloads & the odd online gaming on PS3. I doubt I get in to the terabytes, but several hundreds of gigabytes indeed.
