Virgin Media has introduced speed capping for heavy up/downloaders – it's very unpopular. BT still seems to honour “unlimited” on its top plan – at least, I've not hit a problem as yet.

http://www.internode.on.net/support/faq/data_bl... has all the information you need on data blocks.

I didn't realise you wanted naked ADSL though. I'm not sure if Internode is as competitive when it comes to naked pricing. I stand by its customer service though.

And to add insult to injury, in other news today:

yes. I'm holding out for Annex M on the naked ADSL, otherwise I would have switched already. I also didn't know about the ability to buy extra chunks, I might have to take another look.

Can you get Internode ADSL2 on your exchange? I know its download quotas aren't as high as whoever you are with but you do have the option of buying more quota in bitesize chunks instead of having to upgrade your plan. Also, while NodePhone VOIP service does use up your quota, the VOIP is never shaped even if the rest of your downloads are.

Customer service is second to none in my experience as well.

I'm not in anyway associated with Internode in any capacity beyond being a very happy customer.

The US had better never move to a quota for internet usage.

Duncan, funnily this is the second metered internet conversation I participate in this week. And it proves that the US majority of the web 2.0 community simply fails to realize that broadband can (or should) be anything but unlimited. But here in Russia the situation is even worse – only last year some ISPs started to offer unlimited internet to home users – until then everyone had to pay per Mb and it was actually supposed to be normal here. If I used 30 Gb per month, I would have ended up paying something close to $1K at the time Fortunately now the times are changing and we seem to actually have the unlimited plans now – though I still can not sympathize with the US guys complaining about limited internet being something ridiculous.
