plusnet usage - warning for bittorrent users!
Just got caught out by plusnet's charges for going over my broadband limit. In summary: beware of bittorrent use - even legal! I bought the latest humble bundle and as they're a charity I thought I'd use bittorrent to save their bandwidth ( yes that's legal :) ) It was the last day of the month and I'd just got an email…

O2 ISP - Old Deal vs New
I'm still on one of the older O2 broadband packages. I opted to stay on it and pay the extra for fear of my speed being slowed too much by traffic management that I would be useless (I get 3.5 - 4 meg max). I was with BT but found my speed go from 2.5 meg down to 0.5 meg rendering it pretty useless hence then change to O2.…
