Why leave the connection running whilst you are at work? Can't you download enough overnight on a 2 Mb service?

10 Mb unlimited is not an option. The country would not sign up in droves as these forums would be full of posts saying they are supposed to be on a 10 Mb service but get sub 1 Mb performance. There is a small minority of customers who want to download 100's of Gb per month who will spoil the internet experience of the masses who are quite content with capped 10 Mb or slower uncapped speeds.
Well under normal circumstances I turn my machine off when not using it. What I am saying is that if it means going down to a lesser speed I'll leave it on until i have downloaded whatever it is i want. I don't need to sit here watchig the download indicator.

My other point is that the more people signing up for a services must produce revenue that can be ploughed back into infrastructure to cover bandwidth.
