Question for those with ADSL
-
I have a 10 gig limit on my ADSL account, 3 gig in peak time, 7 outside. Do other people have a similar agreement ? What I mean is, I went to 8 gig in off peak time, and only used 2 in peak time, and I got charged for going over by a gig. Apparently the two limits are independent of one another, whereas I would have expected that the peak time was non-negotiable, and the off peak was whatever was left. Am I wrong ? Do other ISP's do the same ? Christian We're just observing the seasonal migration from VB to VC. Most of these birds will be killed by predators or will die of hunger.

We have only few months left with flat rate structure in Norway. They're changing it now to a similar system, with the following differences: 1. You have only 1 GB included in price. 2. When you reach 1 GB, instead of charging you for extra bytes, they will drop connection speed from ADSL (about 700 KB) to IDSN quality (64 KB). If you're not happy with it, you can buy extra packages of 5 GB that you use within a year. So they will never charge you extra without you ordering extra package, but the limit (1 GB) is far too low.

Maybe it'll make everyone think how stupid war is, and while they are thinking, you can throw a real grenade at them. Jack Handey, Deep Thoughts

Well I use the Bleedin' Tossers as well, and I've never seen any download limits on the ADSL. Of course, you poor sods who live in the middle of a farm and can't get more than a poxy dial-up connection need to be limited, so you don't steal bandwidth from those of us with 500K connections! ;P

You're kidding??? BT have a download limit on their ADSL! I have a cable modem through NTL for 20 quid/month and there are no limits at all - I use the 512kb service, although it's actually capped at around 600kb, so 70+KB/s is not unusual. However, you are obliged to take their phone and basic digital TV package as well, for an extra tenner - maybe that's why there are no download limits. Of course, if you are already an NTL subscriber it's not much of an issue. Phil Phil

Well obviously I can't speak from bitter experience, but I have an aquantance in Exeter who is lucky enough to be in an area served by broadband and I am 99% sure he has talked about annoyances with download limits. I will check this out! :-O
