With Pipex, if you are a bandwidth hog, they write to you. If you don't tone it down, they throttle you leeching ability between 6pm & 12pm to silly download speeds to try to encourage you to leech in the wee small hours.

I'd agree, personally I don't reach the cap now, but I've come close a few times, it would be nice to not have to worry about it.

No surprise as I believe ntl are going to introduce shaping soon, however I think the shaping will be more like plusnet rather then pipex and be very heavy. This will also probably rule out 10meg on the lower tiers unless its capped.

Whats TOS?

the urge to make a pun and ask should we give a TOS is overwhelming! seriously though what's tos? or perhaps I should ask, how do I become a TOSer?

Oh I'd say you're already a fully paid up TOSer sir

etccarmageddon · 24-03-2006, 16:14

sorry found it. I think I was once a TOSer but now am just using this site.

I personally think the current limit is fine and making it unlimited is an insult to those customers who are having speed issues.

Chrysalis · 24-03-2006, 16:15

well I dont know what pipex use for shaping but plusnet are using ellacoyas.

counterstrike2b · 24-03-2006, 16:15

haha well thats contention on an extreme level as underinvestment.

So now that NTL are (maybe) going the way of Telewest and becoming unlimited will they do the same as Telewest with the proxies and make them voluntary ?

Hate to rain on your parade Neil but ntl own their network and are not subject to bandwidth restrictions placed on them by another ISP, unlike Plusnet and Pipex.

Please make educated guesses in future rather then let your personal war with ntl get in the way.

Ok, so why do ntl have caps in place, & why were they one of the 1st UK (if no the 1st) ISPs to introduce them?

Ok...

First of all let's have a look at what I actually said shall we....?

Now I don't make uneducated guesses, so I'm not quite sure what your point actually is.

What has the fact that ntl own their network got to do with anything?

Please don't let your clouded view of me get in the way of a good discussion either.....
