Just seen this - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4016031.stm

Pitty its not available in Northern Ireland yet, I am running 1.5MB at the minute and that is quick, wouldnt mind a blast of that

[Martin]

Yeah, I seen this too...

My area should be covered by December !

its cheaper than i pay now for 3 meg. But after reading there terms and conditions it aint so good, Limits on usage

[Martin]

Yeah,

Recently i received an email from Pipex (My ISP) asking me to join a new service which is slightly faster, but upon checking the conditions of service there's a download limit of 3gb per day.

Which is more than enough normally, but my current service agreement has no download limits. (Which ends this December)

So I maybe forced to change anyway, which is why this deal looked better. Cause I think alot of "ADSL" ISP's will limit this service in preparation of wide-spread SDSL which seems to being aimed at Businesses by BT for large downloads/uploads.

The murky world of picking an ISP lol

[Phil]

No limits here... ever!

If you have download limits, look at the service aimed at businesses, you will probaly pay two or three pounds more, but you will not have any download limits.
