The QOS is only to prevent things like downloads destroying the connection for things like VoIP and web browsing, and although I do put them on the low piority on the router, I also have a cproxy web cache running and a windows server 2003 DNS nameserver running seperatly, as a resault total web browsing traffic never even touches on 5GB /month and non http traffic never goes over 20GB /month. So I always stay well within the 30GB monthly useage allowance set by NTL.

I did advise on other ISPs to start with but at the time there wernt any 9.99 for 1mb deals in place, so I just put a small amount of my connection aside. They are more than happy with there current setup and the way that when they break stuff (and they do break stuff) they know I am only next door to come help.

While this is all Very touching stuff im sure... I know im not the only person to do this, the thread on DS had at least 5 or 6 people who had just stated that they share there connection with there neibour(s) and shared the bills, it was me who bore the blunt of the assult because someone has a problem with me.

Since when is it cableforums job to judge how I use my connection or to interfear in matters that I would have never mentioned myself on here?
