They send you a letter advising you that you've gone past "fair use" and that you could be effecting the service of your neighbours. Goes on to tell you how you can minimize bandwidth usage etc

I got one after downloading every episode of Futurama & Family Guy a few weeks ago, bastards

I was told NTL dont enforce anything at the moment, I have the basic package which should be 3 gig limit but i have downloaded two games this month both 3 gig each and no letters.. plus various episodes of lost and surface.

Matt - Stop worrying. They just send you a email

Ntl are not enforcing the limits just now, they may only send you a letter if you go over your limit. But nothing in place just now so don't worry they wont cut you off

Fil

in other words, rinse the hell out of downloads
