    im thinkin of going unlimited with my utv broadband but im not sure of terms of service and stuff so im jus seein can yous make it clearer for me....

    so
    1.> so for 6 euro extra a month i get to download as much as i want rite..theres no limits on my bandwidth??

    2.> what exactly do utv do to heavy users durin peak times..they say restrict but what do they actually restrict..ur speeds?..or how much you can download in that givin time?

    3.> (follow up from question 2)do they charge you extra if you go over the restrictions if they do restrict ur bandwidth by a cap and not your speeds....?

    You appear not to know the difference between bandwidth and transfer allowance.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandwidth

    As far as I know they will restrict your connection to a lower leverl....mabye 100kb/s or so if it impacts badly on other users.

    Its only a guess as this "unlimited" package is stil very new and even some ISP's in the US have kicked customers from their network who have taken the "unlimited" context to the word!

    They told me they'll only lower the speed if you go near 100Gb's which is very hard, I've tried and I got about 50Gb for the month.

    100GB....well then advertise it as a 100GB a month capped product and not unlimited!!!!

    Oh and I can use 100GB a month without pushing myself too hard....but then I've got to pay for a REAL unlimited business DSL line!!!

    But it isn't capped at that you can still use more but it will be slowed at peak times.
