    what i did remark the other day is (on an uncapped product) 8Gb gives a 4400MB DVD movie in 78mins (if i remember rightly, without working it out) hence this will mean you can watch live, DVD quality streaming...maybe something for blockbusters to think about one day - id rather do that than go to the videoshop. I would prob even pay for it, if i twas offered like that......well, maybe not, but people would

    Didn't mean it to come across bitchy, sorry.

    I know the deal's not going to appeal to every single person. I myself, despise caps. Maybe they'll remove it if enough people refuse to sign up unless it's removed.

    Might start myself with a petition... :-)

    I'll happily add to it, that speed does appeal to me, we have only just been offered the option to upgrade to 2Mb

    Don't worry I was only joking

    That's a bit of a pathetic, not to mention sarcastic, statement.

    I actually do more downloading of movies, games etc while I'm at work or afk rather than when I'm at home surfing or using the connection for other, lighter bandwidth, activities.

    However, I've pre-signed up for the 8mb service. Forty quid per month is only 10 more that I'm paying now for my 1mb line.

    Blueyonder are upping their speeds to a mere 4mb and upload is going up as well, I guess the advantage with them is unlimited usage.

    Thats exactly what crossed my mind too. one measly hour. i bet the contention ratio is well high & I bet the upload speed is still 256k as well even though they must know that their entire market is p2p users, I mean who the fuck wants webpages at 1MB/s

    They should have a more expensive version (£45/50 maybe) with decent uplaod and no cap. I'm sure theres a fair few people who'd go for it
