What is the point of broadband? Bigger and better? All these films that you'll be able to watch online, all the games that you can play all day, all the music that you can download legally (so i've heard) all the websites and all the chat programs etc etc..

One gig a day???

Get real.

I've used a program to calculate my usage for the last month and it's somewhere between one and two gig a day.

I moved to broadband from dial up as NTL like others, courted me with bigger and better speeds and downloads. Now I'm on it, it's 'oooh, don't download too much'.. eh? That's the whole point, or least it was when they wanted us spending more on broadband.

It'll only be a matter of time before the circle starts again and there will be a new level of service, obviously for more money, telling us that it's bigger and better and you can download more.. Til everyone is on it and it's back to square one..

Welcome to the capitalist economy...
