Unless they actually say so then no, most cheap ass / free services have some sort of FUP but have alook over here...
http://www.dslzoneuk.net/isp_ratings.php (you'll have to check some of the top isp's for details) By the way how much did you DL/UL to get your account suspended? i know Orange's FUP is 40gb (50gb is you wanna try your luck) |

I find Virgin/NTL fair use policy the best, they only seem to complain if you are regularly hit 500gb a month. My monthly usage is around 150gb, used to be around 60gb when I first joined. Been with former NTL now Virgin for over 4yrs and I have never had a download issue
![]() Their customer support me be bloody useless but their internet service is brilliant, only ever been down 4 times in 4yrs and that's only lasted around 1hr [thumbup] |

Hmmm, WTF do they think "unlimited" means?
Have a good read through your contract and, I would suggest, write to them, informing them you're laying a complaint with (the relevant) consumers group for false advertising - better yet, have a lawyer draft the letter - if you can afford it. If there is a policy of limiting the download, them they cannot advertise it as unlimited - nice and simple case, IMO. |

All ISP's will have some kind of Fair Use policy built into their Terms & Conditions and rightly so.
For some unknown reason people think that their £20 - £25 per month should get them some sort of amazing connection, with unlimited downloads, sustained fast transfers.... When you're pulling in 100GB+ per month you are effecting other users - you are on a 50:1 contention and as long as you're doing constant downloading others are suffering. That is why ISP's have FUP. They know full well that even if you make a few legal music downloads a month, maybe a Linux distribution a month and a brand new games demo every other day you shouldn't be downloading anything near the FUP limit - so what does that leave? If you want no FUP then move to a more commercial service - you get what you pay for. A 20:1 Business classconnection gets you a better FUP. A 1:1 Leased line does get you true unlimited...but you pay for it. |
