Dear Mr Simon MacMullen,

Your peak-time usage for this billing month has now exceeded your 15GB
allowance.

The highest level of restrictions will now apply to your connection. Large
file downloads, through Usenet, peer-to-peer, and other file sharing
applications will be blocked until the end of the current billing month.
Don't worry, you'll still get broadband speeds for most activities such as
browsing, emails, and gaming.

Of course, when I signed up to this, there was no 15GB "allowance". Plusnet unilaterally migrated me from 2Mbit unlimited to 8Mbit with a fairly small limit.

So, can anyone recommend an ADSL provider that doesn't suck, for when we move house? They would need to be able to provide a static IP address.

Not sure if Bittornado is a Windows app or you run Linux at home, but I can highly recommend Utorrent aswell - That does it in the connection options.

Any BT sites you'd care to recommend?

:-)

But I know what you mean with the frustration of the bandwidth cap, but the problem is that every ISP will introduce it, or has, and have just put it in the really really fine print. I was a bit annoyed at it, but my annoyance has lessened as they gave me DSLMax in return... Although it does mean I download more faster!! (doh)

I run Linux at home, so utorrent isn't an option. And it doesn't look like bittornado supports encryption. Bah.

The only BT site I use is PureTNA (NSFW).

Heh - Yeah I know PureTNA...
:-)

You've been to www.torrents.to ?
