    ESAT are just reselling the service - they don't set the technical specs.

    upping the speed is also a waste of time when theres a cap to consider. You would just end up using it even faster than you are now.

    The up in speed would only be usefull to people who download. But with a cap, theres no need for a speed boost, you can still only download your 8gigs a month.

    I tihnk lower pings would benefit people more, but thats unlikely to happen.

    I think he asked you to jump aboard the "what if" train.

    I'd still like to download faster, even if I couldn't download more.

    Up the cap to 15 gig would be far better than more speed

    What about video links etc.?
    I think the 128K upload is pretty shi tbh

    Personally, speed is more inportant then caps. I have never gone over the cap, if fact i used only about 2-3GB per month.

    What i want is the ability to spend LESS time at the PC downloading, caps are for download freaks tryna getting stuff for free.

    i think that's a fair cap tbh it gives you 500megs a day roughly i'd be happy with that and it would make me ditch my isdn.
