    It could be almost any package, if that's the line limit. Check the modem stats for the sync rate.

    it's said eircom don't enforce the cap, i find this true, i have often gone over 150 gigs a month, i'm on 50 gig allowance, nothing ever said !
    go here, 192.168.1.254 you should see your speed in down/up kbs format

    NOW GO MAD... !! :D

    Eh yeah it was me! And I am not even with Eircom....

    There should be a special urban myths forum where people could post to their heart's content all day every day about Eircom charging people outrageours amounts for huge downloads and leave the rest of us alone................:rolleyes:

    Hey, OP here, ive narrowed it down to either the 30 or 50 gig limit, which isnt much really considering I do a fair amount of streaming and use TPB quite a bit too, so I'm none the wiser, do I go absolutely mad and download 100GIGS or stick to say the 30?

    Anyone any experience of Eircom charging for going over the cap? Not urban myths, actual experience.
