“Wow, if my net was going any slower it’d be going backwards”

Some of you have asked my why I’ve been having that in my msn personal message. Well, with Adam back and us downloading about 2 GB a day (Andrew and I only manage 1.5GB on our own), we’ve now seriously exceeded our allowance and Plusnet have capped us. It isn’t helped by the fact that Adam is still downloading (whilst telling us he really isn’t), but playing Xbl is nearly impossible.

We’re going to get the other line activated at some point this year and it should be easier from then on. I can only hope…

    Yep.. that title made me chuckle too.

    I can’t believe your net has a cap.. that seriously sucks. I download game demos every day and never get capped.

    Why thank you. :D

    Yeah, welcome to the UK. Most ISP’s have some sort of capping going on. But we’ve never been capped before. Let me tell you, it really sucks. :(

    What exactly would happen if your net started going backwards….?

    I don’t know. But seriously, some webpages take forever to load. It’s definitely not fun. I suppose going backwards would mean that I can’t so anything…. :(

    [...] Some of you may know of my internet problems. After all I’ve not just mentioned it once, but twice before. Well, it’s not as simple as it seemed to be.The reason my internet was so slow was because our connection was capped as we had exceeded the monthly peak time download allowance which is 20GB. Fair enough, in that time our internet was slow during peak time. That should’ve ended 20.11., that’s right, three weeks ago. [...]
