caps easy enough to get round tho
cable do have monitoring in the day as far as i know, more info here:

adsl is only monitored during peak hours and then capping applied during peak hours, more info here:

i'm happy to translate if needs be
Cheers for the info.
I didn't realise they capped from 10am - 3pm then 4pm till 9pm... what's the point in having a fast broadband if you can't use it!
I would leave but I don't have a normal phone line in my house and can't be arsed with sorting it all out lol
just means it'll be a bit slower for a few hours but then it picks up
be glad you aren't on adsl where they are capped for 7 days
The downside is if you are unhappy with your Cable broadband service you cannot shop around and move to another cable company - with ADSL if you are unhappy - then there's probably about 20 companies in your area to choose from.
Me too .. I think there's a huge benefit to being with a company who's main business isn't broadband.
i'm gonna find out who you spoke to in tech and tell them you want his babies!!
i'm glad you're back online tho
I didn't want to pay BT £124 to have the phone line reactivated so we went with Virgin as we didn't need a phone line to use them. Any way, the missus' dad is with VM for calls and Internet and he said he pays £50 p/m for them both (I thought probably because he might have the XL phone/broadband package), he seems to think that they are the devil and will rip us off by increasing the prices every other month for broadband, I wasn't sure if this was coming from someone that just pissed off at VM and didn't really know whats going on or if VM are a bit sneaky?
i'm off now till tuesday but i'll have a squiz at your account and see whats going on for ya
does he get it from cable or is his through a BT line?
