I wasn't aware anyone did unlimited before now. Like I say, I know so many that claim it's unlimited but usually isn't!

i find youTube, netflix and music unlimited on the ps3 use a hell of allot usage and if i was on the basic package i would be paying extra every month (bloody kids) :)

I have been with AOHell since the days of Compuserve etc.. and always had unlimited so they have never changed my package to the limited downloads ones.... BUT the speed round here is appauling lol although can't moan as I only pay £10.31 a month for it..

BT have just installed OpenReach at our exchange for fibre broadband.. but I have never had anything good come out of BT

I have unlimited with Sky and have never received any notice about extra costs so they must unlimited to, In terms of BT and Plusnet they are the same company now

I have Virginmedia broadband here. I don't know if it's unlimited, but I've never run into any walls. We're not on the fastest speed, but we're supposed to be getting a new box tomorrow so we'll be going a little faster.

I have to laugh when I see ads on the TV, or through the door, that offer broadband for silly low prices and then you see a 2GB cap or something ridiculous. I downloaded over 4GB just on Friday without thinking about it. When that Adobe software offer cropped up last month, that was about 8GB just on its own. I see the limits like 2GB, or 40GB/mo., and I think they must be having a laugh. Tiny limits are just not practical with today's internet usage.

with sky unlimited on there LLU system - 20meg connection
it is totally unlimited, as last yr when i was looking to update my music vids, i downloaded 900+gig of HD music vids in over 1mth :eek: not a problem.

and BT are installing FTTC to my little exchange by end of this yr which mean fibre - 80down-20up :tongue: - if i can get FTTH ( straight to the home ) 300down and god knows up :tongue: i will - but i dought it will come here till later.

but i would be more than happy with 80d and 20u

sky have told me they will be installing there own (piggy backing from bt) fibre after bt enables our exchange aug/sept 2013
Hence why i,m sticking with sky.

oh forgot to say - my 20mg "unlimited" b/b is only £12.50pm, or £7.50pm if you take sky line rental instead of BT.
If i want to "upgrade" to SKY FIBRE, i would need to take there line rental as well....and its cheaper than BT line rental as well. - win win :wink:
