Generally that's the case but i get full 800kbs on a server like GAmershell :)

I was on 16mb and got 10mb speeds but i had high latency issues so i capped myself to 8mb.

Skybb is good yea, but this has taken the biscuit.
 
so your dl speed is 1.5mbs? whats it normaly

Then no you haven;t been limited or it would be 500k tops.
 
Right.

Lol.

I get 800kbs ALL the time, only tonight i've been getting 150kbs.

Understand? :D
 
FAIR USAGE POLICY

If you subscribe to a Product that does not have a Usage Cap, our Fair Use Policy (“FUP”) will apply to you and anybody that you allow to use Sky Broadband. Why have a Fair Use Policy?

Sky is committed to ensuring that our systems and network (“Sky Network”) and Sky Broadband are fast, reliable and great value for all of our customers. Our FUP is designed to help us keep that promise to you.

The bandwidth that is available on our network is shared by all customers that are active on the network at a particular point in time.

So, Sky relies on our users being fair and considerate of others in their broadband usage. If one person takes up too much or all the bandwidth, this results in a loss of service quality and speed for other users, and in some cases where one customer’s usage is excessive in the extreme, this can have a long-lasting detrimental effect on the rest of our users and the Sky Network.

How will I know if my usage is excessive?

Our aim is to provide a fair broadband service to all our customers. Therefore, we think to impose an actual figure on what we consider to be “excessive” use is not necessarily helpful and may penalise users unfairly. What is deemed excessive will be determined by a number of factors including (but not limited to) the length of time which your excessive usage continues for, as well as the amount of bandwidth being used.

If, in our reasonable opinion, you have breached this FUP, we may immediately suspend the relevant email account or we may contact you by email to let you know that your usage is excessive and is affecting the Sky Network and/or other users.

If after we have sent you the first email your usage continues to be excessive, we will contact you again by email to ask you to reduce you usage. If after a reasonable period of time your usage still remains excessive then we may do one or more of the following things by notice in writing:

(a) impose a monthly usage cap on your use of Sky Broadband which you must not exceed;

(b) pair your use of Sky Broadband with other users in the same excessive usage category as you;

(c) charge you fair and reasonable costs for your usage (and any reasonable administration costs);

(d) suspend your use of Sky Broadband for the relevant month;

(e) end your Contract in accordance with Condition 11 of your Contract; or

(f) suspend some or all of your Email Tools.

Thorpy you've been capped under the FUP as stated in the Sky broadband terms. They do say they email you before this so check there.

Damn technical crappery.

It works though as many people believe it's the "real thing". I find it really rather annoying when people think 8Mb is 8MB.

I'm just so used to people not bothering with the capitalisations, so it's just easier as most people use mb Mb MB mB as megabyte, same for KB.

Virgin cap it everyday for 3% of users (or so they say - bull**** imo) goes from upto 750kb/sec to 100kb/sec maximum.

Lasts from 4pm till 12am.

no, the people who regulaly go over the fair usage cap at peak times is about 3%.
People either spit their dummys out over bad pings or download caps, I dont see the problem? If you want more why not pay more? Its not exactly hard downloading during offpeak hours either.
