Have you been downloading latley?

[Smits]

sky sucks really badly, i have it and my download speed is terrible. It doesn't help with my location, and i download alot of stuff.

Have you been downloading latley?

I always used rapidshare but my account got finished, so i been using torrents, and that when it starting to become slowish, then i got a new account on Rapidshare and the download speed can be from 1kb/s to 150kb/s when i used to have around 400-500/kbs.

I'm also using kaspersky if your wondering

Sky may have cut your speeds because you are downloading so much. Check their usage policies.

It could be that your download speed is lower today as your exchange is full of downloaders. Mine is slow late at nights...probably when everyone is using p2ps and torrents/

Broadband

If you subscribe to a Product that has a cap on the amount of data that you download or upload via your Sky Broadband internet access each month ("Usage Cap"), your usage must not exceed that Usage Cap each month. For the current Usage Caps on each Product, please go to www.sky.com.

If you exceed your Usage Cap, we will contact you to let you know that you have done so.

If your usage continues to exceed your Usage Cap, we will continue to contact you to ask you to reduce your usage immediately. If after a reasonable period of time your usage still exceeds your Usage Cap, then we may do one or more of the following things by notice in writing:

(a) charge you fair and reasonable costs for your usage (and any reasonable administration costs) in excess of your Usage Cap;

(b) change your subscription to a Product with a higher Usage Cap, in which case we would also notify you of the new price you will be charged;

(c) suspend your use of Sky Broadband for the relevant month;

(d) end your Contract in accordance with Condition 11 of your Contract; or

Wow, that's the worst policy in the UK I've ever seen.
