RE: BT Broadband 2MB....a good deal?

15gb doens't sound very much.

If once a month you downloaded a linux distro thats a third of it add some
windows updates etc and it seems you could get close fairly quickly.

Hi All,

I'm currently with Bulldog Communications paying £24.99 per month for
2MB in the evenings and weekends but as I'm cancelling the telephone
number which the service is currently on am looking for another ISP.
Bulldog no longer sell this package as they want you to take out a
new line with them which I'm not prepared to do.

BT Broadband at the same money looks interesting but the only thing
that's putting me off is the 15GB per month usage allowance. I'm not
a big downloader by any means but have no way to access any kind of
logs with Bulldog as to my past usage with them. They also cannot
provide this information to me as apparently they do not monitor
customers usage.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what in real terms 15GB would mean
to an average user? Has anyone had any experience with BT Broadband
(good or bad)?

It appears that more and more ISP's are providing broadband with
usage limits and although there are plenty that don't they seem to be
aimed more at the business sector and are much more money.

Any help appreciated.
Darren
