lol, Ntl won't do anything even if go over 3x30gig, i bet you ÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£10.

STill sticking to my 100/150gig threshold limit which triggers automatic response and a letter. I mean if it was too low, thousands of people would be getting letters but they are not.

ATM they won't. They are monitoring Network Usage.

If Ntl are going to issue letters in September as promised i see a massive increase of the number of people who will get their 1st or 2nd, as September has been a massive week in the console scene (if you know what i mean)

I carnt wait to see my letter!!
I rang up and cancelled everything. Got my date for sky install and BT install.I then got a phone call a couple of days later from a "new dept".
They wanted to know why I was cancelling, so I explained. I have now had to cancel my Sky install as i have been offered tv,phone and broadband free for 6 months. The only thing ive cancelled at the moment is the phone. Ready to jump the broadband ship if they get up set this month with my downloading.
I wont actulay cancel my broadband for the rest of the six months just get a second connection.

The new dept were actually quite interested in all the problems people have been having with the broadband aup team. They implied that quite a few people were getting rid of there packages thats why they had been set up. Not sure how true that is, I could have been reading the conversation wrong.

mcmanic · 27-09-2005, 08:16

4 days to go (monitoring)

Letters was sent out around the 20th of the following month, gives us another month to hammer the system (i didn't say that did i? smacks hand with ruler!)

Bluestraw · 28-09-2005, 17:35

Does anyone know if the usage is measured per billing period, or per month?

Thanks!

mcmanic · 28-09-2005, 18:50

well in the letters it said "during the month of September", so if i get a letter saying i've downloaded X amount and it don't match what i have here they can go and jump and prove to me that their info is correct seeing i'm paying the bill and its my cash they want

Not hard considering they have records of every single byte you've transferred

Sorry but I doubt your software is as accurate as the router that's handling your data....

thats ok then, but abit pointless in NTL pointing you to a BB monior if its not going to be right and they tell you to use that, especially if they ever enforce the 30gig cap to the hilt via hardware cos then how would we ever know if our software is ever right compared to what NTL are saying it is via hardware.

There's an ongoing plan to provide customers with a monitoring webpage showing how much they have used, this will be based on the same data that the bandwidth police will be using.

Who knows it might even actually be live at some point!

To be honest though dude if you're downloading DVD-Rs of console games you can't really complain too much, you are after all knowingly and intentionally going over the limit.

mcmanic · 29-09-2005, 10:00

don't assume i have then... lol, was pointing out on my other post that it has been a busy month on the scene release, so expect many more people to be caught out if as NTL say "they are monitoring", i know this to be the case as my internet has been much lower so someone in my area is effecting my usage, infact i even know who one of them is!
