    Actually, I reckon thats wrong, it says here I was connected to the internet for 91 hours from 21st-26 dec, I know for a fact that I wasnt, so its prob a little less.

    Even so, you appear to be getting much more than the average user before they get the dreaded e-mail:
    Dear Customer,

    Further to the recent email we sent to you regarding heavy usage;
    your broadband Internet usage has again been highlighted as
    exceptionally high during peak periods and is affecting the
    service we provide to other customers.

    Please carefully read the following email to avoid any further
    warnings. This is your final warning, if you do not reduce your
    usage during the peak periods we will manage your service during
    the peak hours.

    Please ensure you read our Fair Use Policy
    (http://www.tiscali.co.uk/fup) so you are clear on your obligations
    with regards to internet use during the peak hours.

    You may upload and download as you wish outside the peak hours;
    but we ask that you are considerate when using the internet during
    the peak period. Peak hours are from 6pm to 11pm Monday to Sunday.
    To avoid any further heavy use warnings
    we strongly recommend you adhere to the following guidelines:

    o) Do not download large files during the peak periods

    o) Do not use Peer-to-Peer file sharing software during peak
    periods (e.g. Kazaa, BitTorrent)

    o) Try and keep internet use to email and web browsing during
    these times.

    If you do not reduce your usage during these peak times
    (6pm to 11pm) we will manage your usage. This means that
    you will share bandwidth with other heavy users during
    peak times instead of sharing bandwidth with normal users.
    Your service will continue to be unlimited, but by sharing
    bandwidth with other heavy users you are likely to experience
    slower speeds during peak times.

    If you have a query regarding this letter then you can email
    broadbandservices@uk.tiscali.com

    Like Boomhall in the post above! They seem to impose these restrictions where they want or need to rather than consistently across all users and they don't quote actual limits.
    :doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:

    I'm generally quite happy with the £14.99 deal from Tiscali if that helps.
    Money is not the root of all evil - Money-wasting is!;)
