Virgin To Cap Uploads?

Deluxe1 · 24 Oct 2007 at 20:31

Just read that trials are in place where they cap your upload rate between 4-9pm each night,if you upload more than 1gb then your down to 5mbit/128kup.

This is due to be implemented in January.

Could a hardcore gamer upload more than 1gb in 5 hours playing online games?

Everyone goes on about this but I never seem to experience any capping, and I'm on 2MB Virgin.

This month (Oct) I've downloaded 20GB, and uploaded 9 Gig so far, Most of that torrents.

Is a almost gig a day going to affect my caps?

Gaming uses very little bandwidth - usually under 10k/s for an FPS.

Unlikely. I've been doing around 300GB a month for ages now, although to be fair the vast majority of my downloads are done overnight.
