I can understand them doing this, a hard cap would have been awful but i don't mind this soft cap. I feel sorry for 300k users but it's only a few £ more and you will get more than double the current speed.
To do what?At present I don't bother downloading anything much because it's too much hassle to wait for most large files especially video streaming.Of course if I just surf I may not hit the 3GB but I reckon with the amount of surfing I do it could still be rather tight not to run out of month before I run out of Cap.5 GB I could live with but 3 is a little low.It's not like I max out the system as a user after all.I don't really want 30GB but I don't want 3GB either.

Anyway this thread isn't really about the cap so back on topic.
