well done sky for not throttling

[connormill]

I just have to say that sky are living up to their "unlimited" and "up to 16mb" as in the last dav I have downloaded 150+Gigabytes and my download speed has not droped below 1700kbps so i am very inpresed as that is about a 14mb average speed sustained for about 22 hours
EDIT: here is a speed test and router stats


System Up Time 20:37:33
Port .....Status.....TxPkts........RxPkts.....Collision s...Tx B/s....Rx B/s.....Up Time
WAN.....PPPoA.....24539255.....42257715.......0... ...14102....31085...20:36:55

ADSL Link..............Downstream....Upstream

Line Attenuation.....11.0 db.........5.8 db
Noise Margin..........8.0 db............16.0 db

But if people cane the **** out of it all the time maybe they will have second thoughts and start throttling like most other providers.

^^^ my thoughts exactly - 150gig in a day !!! thats almost 32 dvd's lets hope the op watches them all before dl anymore

The most I think I will ever download will be maybe 50 to 80 GB a month.

I listen to internet radio and use youtube quite a bit when I can.

I have just put netmeter on here and the last 3 days I have downloaded 937mb total.

That includes my upload.
