Well, I can't quiteplay 2 everyday... nor can I browse the web, use e-mail or anything.

Oh, and this is all supposing I stay at 20k the whole time, so no more TeamSpeak server to chatwith my friends whilst I play.
Stuart, which service are you currently on? 300k 750k or 1.5mb.
If you are doing that much online gaming then I imagine you are on 750k plus. The 750k will become a 2Mb down / 128k up 30Gb cap service so limit you to 414hrs of silent gaming (ooh thats 60 days and nights with no breaks and no sleep in a month of 30 days) or less if you are using team speak.

The question this thread raised was with the faster "slow" service of 1Mb/64k 5Gb cap, would it be effective to move to this tier.

It seems for you serious gamers the answer is no, but even so for no more money (well the £20 swichoverfee) you will get a faster upload and the cap will remain where the guidance limit currently is.
