just don't go for one that has a download limit...do you get that problem in the US? like over here in UK some providers only let you download so much a month.

I officially don't have a limit but if i go over 20gb's or so they send you the letter of deaf

Ive got Comcast. 3 Mbps down and 256 Kbps up. Ive been trying to get something with a faster upload but havent been successful

EDIT: Forgot to mention its $42.95 a month. I pay $45 cause I am renting out a modem from them.

i have the same service, but i pay $20/month. i just restart a new account every time the promotion ends. i'm so evil.

american cable ISPs actually have a worse policy. they have no explicit limit, but they can arbitrarily decide that you are a burden on the network and threaten to cancel your account. i kind of think it violates u.s. laws against false advertising, in some way, by not telling you before you sign up that you&#39;re only allowed to download so much per month. and then when you do violate the bandwidth quota, they won&#39;t tell you in simple numbers how large the quota is. it&#39;s like being stopped for speeding on a highway where they have no speed limit signs.

luckily, u.s. DSL companies seem to have little or no interest in such policies &#39;cause their selling point, the thing that distinguishes them from cable, is that you get a personal allowance of constant bandwidth so that you don&#39;t burden the network any more on one day than you do on the next.
