I thort the idea of having broadband was for SPEED & not bein a hog on the net. If sum1 downloads 1gig a day then he's gonna have a lot of cd's. Any1 know if blueyonder do optional speed's,,, i.e 128k, 512k etc. Never noticed this on there website, only seen 56k & broadband??? (not to savvy on this kind of stuff, find it hard to take in)

you can download 1GB in a day on streaming music alone, this isn't saved etc either, thats what BB is for, media, and NTL are stopping people using it for that.

As for the products Telewest offer - i don't know

im on BT ADSL mine 288 upstream and 576 downstream is there a limit for me?

So is it actually impossible to download more than 1 gig a day or is it just a recommended limit?

it's not impossable, but if you go over 1GB /day often you will prob get a letter from them, an example would be the one I had for uploading too much (read it HERE)

It would be worth mentioning that there is a very long disscussion about this issue at nthellworld.com - the link to the thread is HERE.

alot of repetition in it but prob worth a read to all NTL users, and telewest - you could be next
