    I'm on IBB 2mb breeze. I know its uncapped but has IBB warned or taken action for abusing their fair usage policy? I'm curious to know what would be a reasonable daily or monthly download/upload total?

    I'm on the 1meg Breeze and have downloaded 50gb's in the past few days. It's really out of the ordinary for me though, I usually only get that in a month.

    I was talking to a guy at the weekend who told me he got unoficially penalised not for his downloading but cause he uped 400 gig in one month. He found this out from an engineer guy he knows and the company wouldent admidt to it.
    I dont know how true that is now as it did not happen to me so I can not speak for my self. Im told by IBB that I was downloading 60 gig per month but I dount its that much id say closer to 40, Ive recently installed softeare to measure this so i`ll know soon enough if their figures are accurate. The guy who told that I was getting 60 gig that this figure was not excessive, he only told me cause I asked him.

    Is there a cap on the 1mb line? I've heard talk of a 30gb one, but I asked when I was ordering back in the summer and was told there wasn't one.

    I checked the website and one page said there was and one said there wasn't. What happens if you go over it? (If there is one, that is...)

    2mb bussiness. Used to get the full shebang, but alas not anymore. I do most of my downloading between about 12 and 9 in the morning
