BT Retail pay a lot of money per Mbps and their average punter uses just a few hundred kilobits per second at peak time. People maxing their download for weeks on end are very expensive. |
If they can't sustain the speed for the price, don't offer it
Simples. It's the same argument I will continue to have with any ISP that throttles because the user is downloading too much. BT haven't had a problem since their infrastructure was built to cope.
I actually did 10TB down and ~700GB up that particular month, downloading a backup of the file archive from my website (10TB then, now 24TB in size I should add, but I don't have the disk space at home for that any more). I typically average less than 500GB or so per month.
