Why do you people insist on reading 'The Register', the site is the biggest load of swill on the internet.
Quote: "Well, that's just typical isn't it. I have unlimited ADSL usage on BT's £27 a month broadband. Today they have revealed EVERYONE on BT broadband will be capped at 15GB a month ( http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/06/30/bt_broadband_price/ ).
Price will be going down to compensate (reducing to 24.99). I have no idea of my usage as I share connection with two other flatmates and I know one of them is always downloading big stuff. Hopefully 15GB is more than enough for us."
BT Openworld seems to believe the cheapest package is £29.99, it also doesn't mention cap rates.
I also cannot find any news on this so-called 'Rate-Cap' or 'Price-Drop'
It is common practise for alot of companies using cable and such to enforce a 10/20GB rate cap, this is due to network load as they tend to have between 20-200users per area. BT Broadband works using a Max 50 customers/area, this was exclusively to prevent 'peak time' syndrome and any need for bandwidth caps.
And whether the company actually does put it into practise right away again is another matter entirely.
NTL Officially stated that people on my connection would gain 2x the Speed and the cost would only raise by £2 for this.
This was suppose to happen at the end of May;
It is now July, I'm still paying £15/month and running at 150K.
And that was after and official annoucenment.
