Turbo007 is an unknown quantity at this point
What next?

So, I've got my Ferrari but NTL say I can only have 70p worth of fuel a month and if I go over this I'm banned.

Now I'm told that soon between the hours of 6-11pm I can only go at 10mph.

Sounds like I should be gratefull paying them £25 a month?

What next, charging for each individual page I look at? Can only look at 10 pages a day? Maybe they'd let me upgrade £ÃÆ ’‚£Ãà¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£ and look at more?

You may laugh but I'd have laughed if I'd have thought that after all the waiting for broadband that it get's 'throttled' and 'shaped' cos some people use it to the full extent! I don't see the point of offering high speeds if you can't actually use them properly? Also, really, what is the point of 100 meg BB if you've used your monthly allowance after five mins use?
