Watch and delete. Its not like i download faster than i can watch it with a 512kb really.

When i do get a 8/16mb line ill prob make a file sharing PC and link it to my TV. Stick in like 1TB or HD goodness in it :)

i got that from tiscali about a year ago they didnt cap me but they put me on to a server with other heavy users, i takes ages to load the internet during peak hours.The best thing to do is look for another deal from another company most companys have the fair use policy tho :( there are some out there that dont care to much about P2P downloading tho :P

This is why I love my ISP, uncapped, the speed is what they say and when I upgraded from 250KB's to 8mbit it took 5min.

But seriously.. you pay for uncapped, you should sue them

Bump on a log sounds good.

I'd still sue and say you have suffered "emotional trauma" and get some money out of the deal.

Or say your neck is starting to get stiff, but i dunno how much that excuse would work. :p

I've done a 13.25GB month on dialup (48.8k) - one session in that month was 9 days 25 mins :biggrin:

Aah, good times good times :tongue2:

Pfft like ive ever gotten to 64kb/s lol :(
