Well it had to happen eventually, download over 30gig (softcap) and get a letter and if you continue to not abide then you'll get another saying
You will be downgraded to a new 512k Unlimted Service for £17.99 from the start of "X month" (normally the end of you current month that you get the letter.
Also states that there will be a new unlimited service next year

.. England has a ISP forum . called TheSceam! ..
http://www.the-scream.co.uk/forums/index.php? I found a better provider .. faster cheaper & no cap thanks to them .. NTL has had its day .. I switched, I suggest you do also ..

I have downloaded 40+ gigs this month already, And by the releases due it will be another 40 easily.
Looks like a new isp for me . Can't complain really been gettin 512 for a tenner a month for 2 years and been upgraded to a 2 meg line 5 months ago . Still £10 a month
( Asked to be disconnected due to be ntl cable being pish , they offered to do 3 months at £10 , seems to be a long 3 months though )

well ... rogers cable here supposedly has a cap too ... but I don't think they really enforce it. Apparently it was to free bandwidth for their VOIP service ...

Exactly, Cogeco is the same way. The VOIP is good to go now, and the testing is done. Bandwidth hasn't been an issue for cable providers here for a while. I've downloaded over 50gb this month according to DU meter and it was more than twice that last month. It's never enforced, and they are continuously improving our speed. |

I dont ever recall rogers having a cap on their service in any way...ive always gotten the speed im supposed to get and at times, have downloaded close to 200Gb's in a month, never one complaint. But then again, some months i dont even download a GB worth of shit....

Ive heard enough horror stories about Rogers, but since they came out with cable internet, ive been a subscriber...actually, ive been a rogers customer for about 9 or 10 years now...Im a vip member to and shit, maybe that has something to do with the reason they have never bugged me...?
Since I went to Rogers Extreme (I bought the DOCSIS modem - fuck renting), i havent had one service interruption or unexpected downtime ya know? Never any slow downs or network congestion....pure smooth internet  Maybe its cuz not to many ppl have extreme yet...
I checked into it and rogers has a newsgroup cap if u use the rogers nntp service...if u do what i do however, use a separate news provider, they have no cap on speed or usage |
