    They have no cap but do they ever complain, I've just starting doing some big downloads like I'm over 50 gig this month, I'm wondering would they ever moan or do they not care at all

    Why is it necessary for people to bring up this topic on such a monotonously regular basis? When you sign up with Eircom (as with most isps) you agree to a cap - if you dont abide by the cap you leave yourself open to consequences depending on the isp.

    If Eircom charged for exceeding the cap Boards would be full of complaints etc etc. They dont charge - at least to date - and still people seem to have a need to raise the subject. They dont charge shut up about it until they do lest the noise doth tempt them!

    Anyone who is over 50g with half a month gone (and boasting about it too) deserves no sympathies when the grim reaper eventually comes!
