You want 150GB at peak time?

I have been paying for it though, Â40 per month is a long way over the average cost for ADSL. I have considered that fair as I use more than average amounts of bandwidth. I do not want nor expect a 1:1 service as you described further down. My connection isn't going flat out 24/7 and I have no need for it to do so. I think your comment was unfair, I do not expect to pay Â7.99 for some consumer package and think its ok to cane the bits off it. Rob linked UKFSN as a suggestion and as I mentioned in reply to that, it is more expensive again than I pay currently but I can live with that, but seriously Â56+Vat for the 2mbit I just about get is pretty darned expensive, going back to Sweden as an example; a buddy there has 100Mbit for 25E or something (with some calls package I believe). This isn't Sweden I know and I can't have that, but we are paying through the nose, for less, and still get limited, and apparently looked down upon by peers for being "selfish". I'm as fair as I realistically can be. -- John Williams My linux blog of notes and guides http://subbass.blogspot.com/ -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
