a 5 gig limit is useless to me - arghhh me laddy

I heard redten do a good unlimited service you should look into it their customer service is superb i would highly recommend them

If we have been transfered to a limited service, then I think that is going to be the best line of attack from a breach of contract point of view. I do sincerely hope that this is not the case though!
I guess no-one can do any more about their connections until after the Bank Holidays.
I'll take this opportunity to wish everyone a Happy Easter break.

I only pay £9.99 per month with `ukonline`. they`re part of `easynet`. I get unlimited use. If anyones interested I have a voucher which will give you 1 month free on sign up. The modem costs £25 but you could use your own ADSL connected via a serial port.

First of all, I can't find a £9.99 package at ukonline; minimum seems to be £14.99.

Secondly, if you read the dreaded 'Fair Usage' T & Cs, you'll find that they 'throttle' high users like me, even though the packages are advertised as unlimited. At least, though, they are very up-front and honest about this.

Nevertheless, looks like a fantastic offer from a very reputable company, and I thank you for your very useful post.

got over 5gb this evening and it all become deadly slow. !!!!!!!s! I had not agreed to such terms, guys we need cooperate and do something.

nedmundo

Trading standards & Offcom would be the logical way forward.

This doesn't sound good!

Did you guys download your 5GB during the peak hours? If so then you may be throttled until 11pm tonight, not alot you can do about this as that's the fair use policy.

Not sure how you avoid using lots of bandwidth during peak hours, obviously don't use p2p but will using iplayer trigger their systems to put you on the naughty step?

I've done my 5 gb limit not in one go, mostly in the morning. Thing is that I am a web developer and work over internet. Use of skype, remote desktop connections and browsing generate a lot of traffic, thats why I always was after unlimited deals. Bt had some fair usage policy as I remember but it was almost invisible when you browse just pages within the peak hours.

this is worse than i thought
many sites are now unusable
eg myspace music tracks won't play on band profiles
flash games won't load
can't even navigate much of njp's own website
MY ADVICE - STAY UNDER YOUR 5 GIG LIMIT UNTIL PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE - it's very hard to find any advice online at this speed limit
