That's exactly how a cap should be imposed. 50gb is a fair cap, and it also suits the heavy downloaders, as they can set their PCs going over night. If other ISPs (we all know who) went about it like this there would be a lot less unhappy customers. Nildram are certainly high up on my list of potential DSL providers when I need to make the switch from NTL.

I should add, I emailed them earlier and it seems if you do go over the 50gb peak usage, you will not revert back to 2mbit during the off peak hours and your connection will stay at 64k till the next billing cycle. It would have been nice if they put your speed back up during the night.
