[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 177419, member: 175057"] You won't get flamed here _stu_, A) because it is not allowed :) and B) because probably many people agree with you. :) If someone is downloading 200GBs per month, then they are almost certainly doing something for commercial gain, downloading illegal copyright material, or more likely both, if they want to do it, then as BT say, they have to pay for the privilege and not steal the contended bandwidth from other "normal" users. It was exactly the same with satellite broadband, it was advertised as 512kbits but there were people who had it running 24hrs per day at that rate, thus killing the system for everyone else.
