I have been limited :@ Its 10 times less than it was before :@
I got limited the other day for downloading to many demos on my PS3 lol.
Lol i got 9.9MB but during peek times (6-10pm or something) i get about 9.4MB
It happens alot to me, when I download too much I get put down from 8mbs to 2mbs, and when I do both uploading and downloading at the same time I get put down to 1mbs >.<

Consider switching?
Phone up Tiscali and start shouting at the indians, lmao.
I hate Tiscali support, they treat you like an idiot and then don't fix your problem. They've sent me like 3 modems!
so you're all offered fantastic plans, but when it boils down to it, if you use all that extra transfer you paid for you get limited? -is glad I have a good ISP who doesn't limit my precious 10mbps-
I have a 30gb download/transfer limit which is fine for most people ;).Quote:

However, I do agree on the point that Tiscali support is rubbish. It took around 12 emails to get them to answer a simple question. They don't take the time to read you an email, its just copied and pasted.
I mean, I emailed them using my name and saying "Look, I want to upgrade my plan but I also want a free wireless router. But it says both of these will extend the length of my contract, so will it be for 12 months or 24?" - Now after around a months wait on getting a reply, they said "I'm sorry, we cannot help you as you are not the bill payer. To be added to the list of administrators for this account please send us all this information"
Seriously? So I went back on the form, used my mums name and after about 10 more emails (most of them were duplicates!), I finally upgraded my plan and got my free router.
Mines unlimited o.0
But I mean, what's the point of buying a plan with (for example) 12mbps down, then when you exceed the use of 6mbps your ISP limits you to 1mbps?Quote:

I wondered why my xbox was going slow..
It doesn't matter how fast your internet speed is for xbox live unless you want to host (>1mb upload). It's all about what your ping rate which is how long it takes for you to connect to the server.Quote:

I was under the impression that regardless of over exceeding plans, the ISP would restrict users.Quote:

Good as always to be honest, BT Internet, peak time, paying for 8mb. This month, so far, I must of downloaded atleast 80GB, and uploaded almost as much.
Give the company a ring. "Excuse me ___, why was my internet connection limited?". Act pissed off.
And the Japanese will soon (or have) got there 1gbps internet. :( I barely make 500kb/s when downloading.
I'm so glad Orange have no issues :D
I would phone up and tell them what you think :/ Limiting the usage of your internet is a bit... backwards. It's 2008, we're meant to be technologically advancing, not limiting!
i know it's 9 am but why is upload so low, or is it meant to be down there?

Upload is always slow.
