Did you reach your download limit in August?

I broken my 8G limit for the first time. I'm so proud.

Its only showing about 10G at the moment though, but the stats page has been showing a load of rubish for most of the month so far.

Heh, this reads like a poll on PI about who's lost their virginity.

I've gone some ridiculous level over.

You poor &^*%^^%^%

Is there any hope you can ditch UTV and jump ship to ANY OTHER bitstream provider???

Your going to pay almost €100 this month for 1m/128k broadband.....thats 3m/256k from Digiweb prices!!!!

kmurph

2gb left today on 24gb cap.

bush

Theres an option to suspend the account when it goes over the limit, for some reason it was set to bill for overuse though, thats what makes it worse. I thought it was set to disable account when I went over as usual so I was downloading for sport yesterday. Fuming

Im thinking of going to Eircom at least they dont charge for going over.

zuma

Well it was 232GBytes and back in 2001.

I wonder what type of connection/download amount that person is capable of these days???

Still that letter was clearly automated and that ISP better not expect :eek: payment :eek: anytime soon .

ghost26ie

Think about it people, some of the worst overdownloaders in Ireland frequent the broadband section and if we can only get into the 40-50GB region on 2Mbit connections...then the BB ISP's have very little to worry about.

why? I think 40-50 is a lot when you have 16GB cap

I think you missed his point, i think he is saying that 40-50Gb for a month on a 2Mb connection is quite low when you take into account what the line could download in a month if let rip, in the region of 640Gb. It is low concidering you could rack this up in a week quite easily.
