So much for 'ALL the time, fast internet for an extra £15 a month.' Freeserve (Now called "wannado" or something) have now (I think) Cut my internet speed down. The internet is ALOT slower and downloads are crawling.

I read somewhere that this happened to someone and they phoned up their ISP only to get "well in your contract you agreed that if we feel that you are using un-necessary amounts of bandwidth we can cut you speed and bandwidth down." I'm REALLY hoping its my pc being a beach but I doubt it. (it may be a sheet PC but its only the internet that’s being annoying)

People I know download ALOT more then me (I don’t even download things like '300MB VIDEO CLIP!!!!1111111111112212FIFTYSIX'(you get the idea.)) and they still think I’m using it too much.


Hopefully going to get a program tomorrow to see if it really has changed (the connection speed) and if it had…well….*cleans baseball bat*

I'm on BT and I download a fair bit ^^; and the connection is shared with another pc, a laptop, ps2online and xboxlive but our connection stays the same. I'm pretty sure BT has a cap like the majority of other providers. I'll be getting 2 more PCs and a Power Mac G5, oh and a 2nd laptop so it might be time to get a 1MB connection. I think BT do one but don't really advertise it.

What package are you on? Freeserve/Wanadoo are far from the best provider, change when you can.
