BT Are The Worst ISP EVER

THE FAIR USAGE POLICY IS STRICTLY LIMITED TO 100GB per month. If you go over 100GB they immediately, universally limit your connection to 2mbps. Downloading HTTP the speeds are shockingly bad, averaging about 150kbps from a variety of servers, local and overseas. Even when I was not limited the speed was averaging around 300kbps with a maximum of 1mbps from one server which is nothing special at all.

WORST OF ALL THEY THROTTLE ALL P2P - I REPEAT AVOID THIS ISP THEY THROTTLE P2P!!! That goes for Bittorrent/Emule or any other file sharing. It's written in to their fair usage policy. The maximum speed I can get with uTorrent, all forwared properly on a torrent with 20,000 plus seeders is 30KBPS - I REPEAT MAX BITTORRENT SPEED IS 30 KBPS!!!! I think after midnight they reduce the P2P throttle but it is still only maxing at about 150KBPS download on a highly seeded torrent.

PLEASE, IF YOU LIKE YOUR P2P AND YOUR SANITY - REJECT, REFUSE, BOYCOT, AVOID THIS AWFUL USELESS RIP OFF ISP!!!!!
 
See my reply to your other post for ISP suggestions.

Sadly BT is well known for being quite restrictive, not least because we do see a lot of reports from people whom claim that, once throttled, their speeds fall way below the line that BT itself claims to set for heavy users.
