Re: NTL Ripping us all off
Im talking about NTL ripping us off by us paying £38 or so a month and only getting potentially full speed for an hour a day. Hense placing a 1gb a day cap. If you pay for a service you should get unrestricted downloads. Its like getting Cable T.V and only being allowed to watch it one hour a day.

Then you need to post your comments in the cap thread we already have running here: http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...ad.php?t=25635
If your issue is the cap, please post in that thread rather than start a new one to discuss it.

Yes it does, as I personally don't believe anything legal can be done to use a gig in an hour.
However, I'd gladly be corrected?

Downloading Linux ISOs (close to 3 gig I believe when I last looked), video trailers, trial versions of games. It's possible, but I certainly don't do that every day.

Someone said it was impossible to download 1gig in an hour legally. They were wrong. I listed some obvious ways. Another is streaming video for example.

Given the frequency of mention of them in relation to the cap, you'd think it is the most popular OS in the world. Must be because there's so many game for it

This is not a cap discussion.
For those that want to discuss the cap, please do so in the link I gave earlier as this thread will now be closed.
