    I have the 7.6mb business package. They have changed the cap last month on their website from 50gb to unlimited. When I check the eircom download stats page It says that I still have a 50gb download allowance. So my question is does anyone else have this problem?

    I wouldn't worry bout it, they don't enforce their limit anyway

    They might not, but they do reserve the right to do so.
    It's the principal of it, they are advertising unlimited cap.

    So do BT, advertise as unlimited cap that is, but they throttle people that go over 100GB per month. Every provider is protected by their small print AUP or FUP and have the right to charge/throttle. Eircom are no different, but they don't (well have never so far) charge/throttle so don't worry about it. Unlimited is never fully unlimited, there's no such thing.

    Edit, Even Smart who are well respected here, I've read stories of people being cut off after 1TB of downloading in the month

    Yes I have seen the BT website, and it says unlimited subject to fair usage.
    But on Eircom's website, which they have re-designed. They don't have any ' unlimited subject to fair usage', so I'm assuming it is unlimited.

    There's no such thing as unlimited, there's a limit somewhere and they're covered by something, be it an AUP or FUP. Read the terms and conditions, I bet its in there. I CBA reading it, I just dl as i please as they haven't enforced any of their limits

    Just looked at the acceptable usage policy, It seems to be an old version and it shows the old caps. 50gb for business starter, 100gb for business plus and unlimited for business enhanced.

    If anyone else is on the business starter/plus package could you check to see if your download stats page has changed.
