If this is the case and I am in breach of some AUP loophole I would thought somebody would have been in touch to let me know this was the case at least?
How many gigs a month do you normally download out of interest?
To be honest I have hardly been hammering the connection at all in the last few months. Well at least now I know for definite I am not going mad anyways

Define mad? Are we talking 100's of gigs a month ?

I know people around here that do hammer them 24/7 on an unlimited news account, and we are not talking a few gigs here and there. I have been known to download a fair amount some days not always but some. But if my downloading was affecting someones connection i would be the first to moderate it.
It was higher earlier in the year. But looking at the full year total I downloaded 900 gig. Since I got a new job I haven't really had time to do all that much.
65 gig in November
50 gig in December
13 gig this month so far.
These stats come from Giganews where all my downloading happens.

Heh heh what I meant is when I want to use it I get full speed :O)
Well i have exceeded that every month by a long way .
All done between midnight and 8.00 am. Never in peak time. However if they decided to bring this in then i don't see why i should limit my times if NTL do this to me. Not happened to me yet, But i am not in Swansea.

Seems more than reasonable to me You should come live here downloading runs into terrabytes and i am not kidding
I am wondering whether it is a trial to see maybe the effects of hardcore 24/7 leeching on the Hi Def service? Especially during the time Eastenders broadcasts

Maybe you can advise more on this Bill?
2 different systems. Downloading would not have any effect on the digital TV transport streams or on Hd.
