How long do you reckon it will be till other places can get it? Im pretty sure we can get a 2 meg service back home at the moment. Obviously one day most places will be able to get decent speeds, just dunno how long it will take!

With current BT fibre optics installations, i think that bandwidth would be severely restricted. Especially in the UK. Lucky to get 1Mbit download speeds TBH.

automatically redial after being disconnected for exceeding the 2 hour session limit stated above. If you use the Broadband Service, we would consider regular or recurring data transfer in excess of 4 Gigabytes per day to be an example of excessive use.
wank.

So you're something to do with this Nismo? It doesn't catch fire when you get to 160kbps does it?

that is lame as a fecking headless chicken 
16 hrs a day limit.
2hr cut off.
500mb bandwidth traffic to and from your 100mb webspace
15min idle cut off.
4 gig cap
10mb email attachment limit.
they try and brag it off with its good for downloads and gaming, but the the 2hr cut off which basically limits that allready and you have a restricted cap of 4gigs a day, which you can easiesly do within a few hrs on a 8mb connection.
also the 16hr connection a day beats the whole point of broadband - which is being advertised by ISPs and the government as an "on all of the time" connection
yes its cheap, but its only useful for people who email, surf, download the odd music track/video every so often and play games once in a while also.

no that doesnt apply just checked its allway on and theres no cutoff period
(that above applys to the dial up accounts)
teh only thing that applies is the 4Gb per day , it doesnt then cut you off it just takes 50% off your download speed.

my bad  i just skimmed the T&C and just picked out bits..whooops
so after you go over the 4gb a day cap, you then drop to a 4Mbit connection?
thats pretty good and i would take it up, but im getting a free upgrade next year (750k to 2mb) for nothing with no caps from NTL, but its still a good deal if you only have ADSL in your area

ok to clear up a bit more information there is No Cap but if you constantly exceed 4Gb for a constant period of 1 month then they may change it to cap you , its a T&C's clause
so you can down load as much as you want and they will CAP you if you are a constantly hogging it (so running webservers etc..)
