But have a look at said AUP - not a dicky bird about michael taking. It seems more concerned in you not running a server, shopping online safely and running virus checkers.

I think it all comes down to fair use. Is it fair to run your connection 24/7 and pull in 600gb of stuff you'll never watch/play/use and possibly bugger up other people's uses?

Then again, as what appears to be happening in my area once you hit peak time of an evening, is it fair that someone who doesn't know what they are doing throttles the UBR with their crappy bit torrent uploads, clicks on any attachment and throttles the UBR with a bazillion pieces of spam shooting from their machine? NTL should be able to spot this sort of activity and alert the customer.
