Unlimited Broadband
Share your experiences with internet service providers that have a download cap. Campaign for unlimited broadband! Does your internet provider offer unlimited broadband, but then throttle the bandwidth during peak hours?

We want unlimited broadband! Why do broadband providers such as BT, Wanadoo, Freeserve and NTL etc have a capped service that restricts us to between 3 and 30 gigabytes a month? We don't want a limits on our broadband service!

| 26-7-2008 | You seem to be forgetting the old 'FAIR USAGE POLICY' which means that unlimited is actually limited!!!! The only provider I know of who actually offer unlimited are BE, but they are not available in my area unfortunately, otherwise I would BE with them in a minute! www.bethere.co.uk | Andrew |
| 07-6-2008 | In my experience, working for a leading ISP which provides DSL to business and residential markets; most people tend to over estimate their typical monthly download usage. Over 80% of residential and business users are downloading LESS than 20GB per month on 'up to' 8Mbps connections. I of...more | flyonwall. |
| 15-5-2008 | They Cap the internet usage because let's face it 24/7 downloading is not good for everyone else who uses the network is it? and how much downloading can you actually do anyway?, Well unless you are illigally downloading from the internet such as torrent, but you could get caught out?

| 09-5-2008 | we would all like unlimited food supplies, fixed price unlimited petrol and diesel etc... ultimately broadband bandwidth is a resource just like everything else and it is not available from an infinite source.

| 23-2-2008 | Tiscali may not cap your monthly allowance per se but they do throttle all P2P and similar traffic (Including WoW data and EA Games files) between the hours of 6 and 11pm.
As for your statement that P2P users are selfish. Get real! If it wasn't for others using more bandwidth the ISPs would co...more | Mark |
| 01-2-2008 | My company was capped by THUS DEMON and they didn't give a damn that my business was shut down. We use online accounting, host our own website, and of course like most businesses we use the internet to order supplies, contact our customers, etc.
After speaking to their mostly useless call cen...more | Canadian Dave |
| 30-1-2008 | I've been throttled by demon - no warning and to make it worse my account was changed from unlimited to throttled without me being told. And yes the throttled service is worse than my old dial up ten years ago! - The outsourced help desk are useless - they say they will warn you when you approac...more | Simon |
| 22-1-2008 | I am with virgin on what I was led to believe was 8meg unlimited adsl connection! rubbish! If you read this think carefully before signing up and question your service that you will be paying for? On most speed testers I am getting dial up most of the time and I download under 30gig a month and the ...more | Jay |

| 27-11-2007 | 56 pence per gigabyte? I'm curious where you got that statistic from.
Even my $3.99 web host (that's dollars, not pounds - half it for the Sterling equivalent!) offers 50gb downstream traffic on its back-bone connections. It charges 50 cents per gigabyte overage - about 25 pence.
So ho...more | Lee |
