Yes, your right I just wandered in and I don't go with the flow. I have my own opinions and if I want to post them I will. Like you said, it's a debate.
I can well understand that on a contension ratio you don't want to be saddled with a bunch of downloading freaks using all the bandwidth while you surf around on a zimmer frame. Thing is, isn't that where your experience guides you away and to another isp? Steve Kaye from Fast4 has stated that due to demand on different forums (not just this one) he has removed the download limit. So I guess not all forums are forming the same opinion as you guys.
Personally a 500 gig limit is insane usage and the limit should have stayed but like I say, they are responding to demand and if I aint happy about it I know what to do. My bandwidth usage is around 60gig a month so I aint an insane user but I class myself as a heavy user and do most my downloading and uploading offpeak. Like Kath said having peak limits is a good idea, I believe Nildram do a 50 gig peak and unlimited off peak? I think thats the route most isps should be following.
But hey, I'm just wandering through :shrug:
