    This is to insure a fair service for everyone apparently.

    Mother of all broadband. Bollocks.
    We get limited, but it's like if you go over 3 GB, the speed goes down to 5Mb between 1800 and 2100 or something like that.

    I complained but it was just for a laugh. I like to keep them on their toes.

    I like to abuse my internets, I wouldn't stand for that. Some days I use upwards of 100GB.
    Now go away.

    I just complain because if one does it properly one can negotiate discounts.

    I complained about a few things and cancelled my Direct Debit I now pay via the gift of online banking.

    When I did this and even after paying the £5 they charge for not using Direct Debit I'm paying about £30/month less.

    True Story.
