Dunno mate, were all living on borrowed time.

However, it never ceases to suprise me when people post things like "And whats with the 3gig cap, since i started the trial ive download an average of 6gig a week"

i have lots of issues with this, but im not gonna start a flamewar:)
Suffice to say that if you want to download feature films all the time, pay for the unlimited option and also realise your breaking the law (yehh yeh, i know i know).

One thing ive found with the download cap is that i can stay under the 3 gigs if i stay away from Kazaa. Otherwise im up to 5 or 6 gb per month.

So what were you downloading from Kazaa then?

[Sarcasm]Well... well...? Wasn't feature films was it???[/Sarcasm]

All joking aside, I'm on the trial also and when May 15th comes along I won't be paying the price they are asking. I presume there are quite a few other people that are of this view, which means that there are going to be quite a few ADSL modems returned to their boxes which eircom are going have to collect. This in itself is quite a bit of hassle, so I wonder will eircom have some sort of incentive in mind to try and keep these people on ADSL? Just a thought....

Dustaz

Dustaz

yeh, but i knew that downloading a lot of stuff from kazaa would cause me to go over the cap and apart from music, i dont really use it. I downloaded 2 movies out of interest, both of them terrible quality. give me the big screen any day:)
