Personally I take it all with a pinch of Salt - the Only one I saw that shocked me was Pipex I think, who say anything over the 5 GIG month is charged Per Gig - which is quite worrying to say the least.

If any company is going to provide a CAP then they need to lay down the rules as to what happens when a person goes over this - say things such as :

We will monitor you over 14 days and in 3 consecutive days you go over we May" write you a nice letter..

The reality is thus - if people in your area complain about a bad service and they look and find person X downloading 10 GIG days for 7 days a week, then of course they gonna jump on you as they are effecting the area on the whole.

BT have there Lite service which is 5 Gig Month but my mate carries on as normal (not downloading 24/7 you understand) but has easy gone over that 5 gigs already. He asked me what happens and to be honest I have no idea (as Im not a BT Low Life)..
