UncertainGod Wrote:Unlimited doesn't mean shit in europe as well, they just subject you to a fair use policy which can mean absolutely anything, for example pay for the 8mbit service from bt and never get more then 2mbit because of the massive overloading of the service and then when you download more than 10 gig in a week they seem to slap on an instant £30 extra charge for the month and that is on top of throttling all p2p traffic all the time.
That's interesting. For the speed reduction, if they can supply an reasonable answer, it's fine here (ie, the ADSL here sucks anyway).
But if they're all talking about "fair use" and never giving anything solid, that's certainly interesting.
I guess everyone reads reviews then, before choosing (because all/most companies won't be able to give solid information)? Of course, reviews can also be tainted...

RE: Stupid ISPs
Sky is the cheap, and limited version of UKOnline. I was with UKOnline when it was owned by easy group, but the day murdoch bought it is the day a cancelled my contract. there service is pretty decent but they do have a habit of disconnecting heavy users at peak times, not even throttling them just kicking them off the network.
