How often do you download and how much?

A fair bit tbh no slowdowns at all well capping @ 5Mb

Using newsgroups btw, I can easilly pull over 25Gb in a day if there was enough content to download

Screenshot of my totals report for the last 3 days.

Fair play, getting capped at 5Mb is a pain in the backside though. I'd rather have a constant 17/18Mb than 20Mb/50Mb for all of 6 hours during the day while I'm at work anyway.

Yea looking at the VM forums a lot of people are annoyed at the caps, a few uses like me don’t get capped is strange but good for me

I’ve only just being connected a week maybe I will be capped soon

could have been a muck up somewhere, enjoy it

. I've been capped, typical Sunday evening

. 5Mb from 20Mb .. shame.

worst thing you can get with adsl 2+, is noise. hell, using an extension cable can cut your sync 3-4mb.

I always thought this was complete tosh but I ordered an ADSLNation XTE-2005 and a 5m Pro+ cable and I gained 3mb sync - best £16 I have ever spent

serious, non-twisted pair is the worst thing for soaking up RF interference.

I found a few months back my phone line socket needed replacing so a friend who is a BT engineer replaced the master socket and disconnected an old alarm connection that was wired in, this increased my sync by a fair but I can’t fully remember the increase but it was +2/3Mb
