I couldn't bring myself to do it.
I would have it on my conscience for ever and a day.

I'll bite... YGM (or will have in a sec)

I've been with them for just under 3 years now, and i`m still a happy
bunny :-)

Your hotmail address seems to be bouncing at present - if you want to
mail me, try colin...at...phoenixbbs...co...uk (remove the obvious)

I left them because they started throttling my connection which I was paying
£34 a month for. Moved to plusnet (still throttling but so far not on my
connection) but least its £12 cheaper lol.

I don't download insane amounts either. My average month is around 65GB
(combined down and up)

Overall Pipex were an above average ISP and from what I've heard about other
ISP's (Piscali, NTL) miles above them.

Holy crap, I probably manage 20-30Gb, and I thought *I* was caning it...

I've been running NetLimiter for a few months and my usage seems to be a
steady 40GB upload per month with downloads varying from 26GB up to 42GB per
month....
Totals last three months: downloaded 111GB and uploaded 127GB.

Does upload bandwidth come into Pipex's traffic management i wonder?

Should i manage my own traffic and cut some of the uploads?
(I have good sharing ratios on a few bittorrent sites!)

A buddy of mine is going to get ADSL (for the first time) within a month and
i told him about the Pipex refer-a-buddy scheme where i'll get a free month
from Pipex if he signs up with them.
He knows what data i go through on my Pipex connection and is more than
likely to sign up based upon the first class service i've had with Pipex in
the past two years (nearly).

I'd be a bit pi##ed off if i'm in for traffic management from Pipex and,
meanwhile my buddy signs up based upon their past service record and not
their (possible) ongoing future business plan to take our cash and only
provide part of the goods - (isn't that what their traffic management
amounts to?) - not pi##ed off because i'd lose the free month but because
he'd have signed up for unlimited useage and would probably end up being
another case of traffic management sometime soon.

Is there a free bandwidth monitoring tool?
