Re: Pipex Capping / Throttling
Sadly, this sort of thing will happen more and more as people discover things like P2P and max out their connections 24/7 as a result. I am not defending any ISP that does this, but they will not spend what could be hundreds of thousands of pounds each year on network upgrades just to keep a very small percentage of their users happy.

I suspect this idea of "Capping" will spread a lot further.
