Re: *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please
Well, it makes my mind up - upgrading to 1Mbit/5Gb was a bit of a toss-up, but 1Mbit/3Gb instead of 300k and "really don't have to worry" - no way! - almost glad, actually, as now I won't be tempted to upgrade and then worry about quota - my monitoring was on target for 3Gb (probably less) without finding anything worth downloading - some of my forums have way too much graphics and are not cache friendly.

To take the streaming example - a 128k stream for 2 hours a day, would blow the 3Gb quota before the month is up, but is comfortably within the capability of 300k - anything that needs more than 300k, you can just hear that meter ticking. Dialup speed for the rest of the month?

The only question now is to stay with NTL, or dump them for ADSL - if AOL stick to "no limits" and upgrade their basic package to 512k, it looks very tempting indeed.
