Jimbo, just how much are you downloading a month? More than a small European tax haven?

 

Now there's a unit of measurement I haven't encountered before. "A Liechtenstein of porn".

 

:up::lol::lol:

 

it's gotta ring to it

 

Now Martin a A Liechtenstein of porn might be acceptable among your southern fairy lot ;) but most of us wouldn't be happy with anything less than a Monaco of muff.

I usually get capped when I kick off my weekend porn download on Friday nights - it isn't that big a deal as it just speeds back up during the night.

 

However I'm still thinking of cancelling just on principle. I first got Telewest in 2000 I think which was one of the first broadband services around and I paid £50 pm for quite a while (though the speeds increased over time). Now I pay £37 for 20Mb which will become 50Mb some time this year but its all pointless. You only need 1Mb tops for browsing so I don't know how they can actually sell broadband that is capped at this level - 3Gb (evening limit) isn't even a DVD. My first question when they offer 50Mb will by what's the point?

 

Also I know its a cliche but the customer service has went completely tits up since the bearded twat bought it.

And you'll probably be lucky to get 25Mb max if this site is anything to go by.

Average based on what? I'm sure Virgin's 20MB service is faster than 6.4Mbps

Yup going by Virgin advertised to real speeds it'll give out ~8.0Mbps. :)

How exactly do they test this? What happens if all the O2 customers tested are next door to the exchange yet all Orange customers are on long lines.

I would imagine if that were the case then rabbit would be our overlords.
