this makes me laugh as for one most ISP's have a fair use policy including TalkTalk that is 40GB per month so that would have to be scrapped otherwise you might end up with a nasty shock on your bill (especially if your with BT as I've found out). Also the UK's internet infrastructure is pants so half the country probably won't be able to make use of this anyways.

actually, you get what you pay for, the cheap ISPs who just piggy back infrastructure from someone else often have those imposed limits, but if you pay more than 15 quid a month for your broadband you should be able to get TRUE unlimited, still shocks me today the level of **** they throw around in regards to FUP, dont sell it as unlimited if its not, streaming media is the internet these days, make your ****ing network better

ok /end soapbox

This. FUP really annoys the crap out of me, if your going to impose a limit just be open about it for gods sake, you'll piss off far fewer customers for a start.

My broadband provider states the limit up front which is fine by me, I'd rather have that than find my bandwidth throttled out of nowhere.

Of course I'd rather all providers spent some money upgrading their infrastructure so I didn't have to be limited at all, but I'll take what I can get at the moment.
