RE: [OT] ish ISP who don't mind large downloads?



Nigel, have a look at Pipex - I have their Max but without the
telephone
bundle - only Broadband, for 24.99pm and there is no bandwidth cap - been
with them some years and have downloaded much more than you state without
any problems.

Subject: [ukha_d] [OT] ish ISP who don't mind large downloads?

I wonder if anyone can help me.

I have just received a letter from Demon stating that because I have
downloaded 66GB in the last 30 days my service will be reduced from 8Mbs to
128Kbps for 30 days...

Apparently they have a Fair Usage Policy of 60GB on my type of account
HomeOffice 8000...

The problem is they don't warn you that you are approaching this limit,
the=
y
just shut you down if you exceed it... no ifs, no buts...=20

While I accept 66GB is high, I was surprised I could manage this, I am not
happy that I received no warning and I was not given the option to move
packages.

A quick look on thinkbroadband (formerly ADSLguide) brings up IDNET as an
option HYPERLINK

r
oadband.com/isp/idnet/package/582.html a little more expensive =A335 month

but
no limits, 60GB inclusive and 85p a GB there after.

Anyone have any experience, or better suggestions.

TIA
