Re: 5% of users use 46% of bandwidth

im lucky if i do between 6 - 20 GB a week, depending on how much work my friend has done. My friend is a Musician and he lives in Manchester and i live in swansea and when he writes material and records them i download the stuff from his FTP and listen and tell him what i think. Thats all i do and i cant even use a VM router cos it doesnt like FTP lol

I don't see anything wrong with people downloading large quantities of data through the day if the infrastructure can support it. Which it should, since we are paying for what should be a world class service.
