I download very little overall and what I download monthly cannot possibly impinge on anyone else.It's also stuff that I've legitimately paid for or has been offered free.I do NOT use PTP at all.

I use my PC to render between 12 pm and 10 am and consequently I do not want to be downloading at that time.I'm rather resentful of being told when and how I can use my BB which I am paying for at full rate.It is NOT my fault if the system is overstretched.I've not forced VM/NTL to take on extra subscribers or to play fast and loose with funding or to waste money not upgrading the system.When I started with BB I wasn't told that I would have to be throttled,STMed and generally treated like a child..In fact I was told that BB would be faster than dial-up.

But then as I recall Cable and Wireless which predated NTL and VM promised me free 24/7 dial-up too and then reneged on that 3 months after I got it 18 months later than everyone else on C&W's books.

It seems to me that ISP's are the only group of business's that are allowed to make it up as they go along just by rewriting the T&C's as they go.
