basically i own a studio, im 19 and at university so still live with parents but have converted a huge room and turned into an acoustically treated recording and production room, they pay for the internet but i give them the money back when i get paid from various contracts, they are the very naive type.

basically ive downloaded (somehow) 137Gb of data this month. is sky bothered anymore, will i get a letter through the post ? theyre so naive that they will see

sky-

"dear so so

stop downloading..."

freak and will cancel the thing ahaha

i havent been capped either yet, though i do use http and streaming, i guess i gotta blame it on my 18mb downstream and youtube hd :P
 
Sky has been quite bad when it comes to their 'unlimited' service. They will imply their fair usage policy. You might come to the point that if you over use your 'unlimited' package they will begin to throttle you.

Like i've said to various friends and family, avoid sky if you can. Shop around for good deals and if your stuck with using sky BB as it includes in their package then there isn't much you can do unfortunately.
 
ahaha well we get it because we get it cheaper what with tv and multirooms and phone bundle etc, so it works out around £7.50 a month ? not been throttled yet, still going 2,100kb/sec strong. ive had trouble with them before but i think thats before they put the REAL unlimited usage into place.
 
Is it not the case that if Sky have there own equipment in the exchange its proper unlimited, however if they dont they simply buy from BT who apply there own restrictions? So I guess the answer to the op depends on whose equipment it is.
 
Well, depends on the service you're on, I'm only M.

I thought Be did a good unlimited deal?
 
Sky are driving me crazy and I can't wait ti dump them and go back to BT. I signed up for an unlimited service and they put me on a 40GB monthly limit. No probs thought I until my connection started going really slowly (35kb) during evening hours.

I called them up to find out the reason and was told that they had throttled my speed because I had downloaded 7GB in four days. When I berated them about my monthly limit being somewhat more than that, they told me that if you dwonload more than 1.3GB per day then that is breaking their fair usage policy and your speed will be throttled. Look out BT, I'm coming back.
