I see your point there....if the caps were imposed to stop the network from being congested, why speed it up? Why speed 300k users up to 1Mb if they could only download about 100Mb a day. That would take about 13 mins to download a 100Mb Trailer for example, then you have to stop using the internet. Crazy.

I would rather be no cap. The whole reason I fell in love with broadband in the first place was because it was fast, unmetered and always on. I could do what the hell I liked without watching my back. These caps are taking the fun out of broadband.

I also think that 3Mb is not as good value as the 2Mb service. The gains are getting less and less benefitial over the silver service. The Gold service used to be twice as fast as the silver service and the silver service 4 times faster than the bronze service.

How many people do you reckon will move down to the 2Mb service to save ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£13 a month and see little difference. Even the upload speed is only 100k less.

I think they've lost the plot.
