Dave Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Not as much as that from here, but a hell of a lot when I was at Warwick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 I know BT haven't; as far as I'm aware from much reading of el reg, NTL's the only one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodhound Posted July 25, 2004 Author Share Posted July 25, 2004 no. apparently BT have as well. read some stuff along with NTL. the thing is there are gonna be five of us in our house. and that makes it only 200MB per person per day. and that absolutely nothing!!!!!!

Dave Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 If you're on dialup, yes. Otherwise, I downloaded 2.2gb the other day which is plenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 And not for the first time, I'm wrong linkage I'm on the 1mb service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodhound Posted July 25, 2004 Author Share Posted July 25, 2004 it sucks. the main of getting broadband is the only on, download as much as you want thingy. now its gonna be like dial up. having to worry about how much time you spend doing stuff.

Dave Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 30gb/mo is plenty for me, as I don't download every day. However, when we get into >1 person sharing the connection, it's very harsh to impose that kind of download limit. There is the slight issue of "why would you be downloading that amount of crap anyway?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodhound Posted July 25, 2004 Author Share Posted July 25, 2004 once we get 5 pple . its will be 200MB. and that just easily evaporate. listening to internet radio. or streaming video. using ftp. etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 True. Online gaming's a sucker for bandwidth as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed84c Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 I know BT haven't; as far as I'm aware from much reading of el reg, NTL's the only one. BT basic is Igb per month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 The link I posted has all the caps on downloading. I think 1gb/mo is, quite frankly, an appauling cap for a broadband connection. I could download that in a week on dialup ffs. BT should be ashamed of themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
