I want a cap, honest!

I am one of those that have been sent the 'infamous' e-mail about
using too much bandwidth. I accept that I have and intend to modify my
behaviour.

What irks me more day by day, is that +net will not give a figure on
what it considers too much.

Their solution of shunting heavy users to one pipe is a monthly
rolling program, not a one off occurrence.

Without a figure, a given amount of bandwidth may be okay one month,
but not the next and nobody will know where they stand.

I will stick with +Net for the moment and see if this solution fails
or not.

However, I want to be ready to jump ship.

Does anybody know of an ISP that is not economical with the truth and
say an account is unlimited, but comes clean with a cap?

TIA.

While i loath to say it Wanadoo my ISP are honest about what you can use,
all their services have a cap, for me on dialup and a friend on adsl they
have been ok, could do better at some things, (customer support is a bit
thick when it comes to anything remotely techie) but hey like you asked the
figures are their on their site and they aint economical about the truth.
The news server is reliable, but only has 35,000 (approx, well its just
under ;D) groups so after PN that may put you of.
But hey they with regards to what you can and cant have in GB terms per
month are staright up front about it .

Could you give an idea of your current usage?
Are you on 512K/1M/2M, and is your line ever inactive?

Rumour also has it that NDO's beta NG platform is +Net's.

Nildram says "NO download limit!" for their ADSL services. I've
e-mailed them to see exactly what they mean :-)

Heck, I cannot use my bandwidth anymore without wearing brown trousers
<g>.

Nildram says "NO download limit!", love the capitals and exclamation
mark. I've e-mailed them to see if it is true.

I'm on 2Mb and my line is inactive during the day (M-F), not so much
at the weekends. I'm trying to be good ATM, but without figures <snips
the stuff I'm sure you've read before about it>.

Guess that shows even what non PN users think of PN
