The UK is facing a major retreat from truly "unlimited" broadband. There are a few companies that do still have it but the cost is outrageous, one company that has it is charging £100 per month with a £250 set up charge. Most UK companies are price gouging us to death. £25 a month for a 2 to 30gb cap is pretty common nowadays. The trend is expected to get worse.
I just switched from a horrible ISP to a "good" one. My new ISP is £30 a month for 45gb peak time {Monday thru Friday 8am to 10pm} and 300gb off peak. That's up to 8mb down with 1mb up. However, even though I live in the UK's oil/gas capital, we only get 4mb lines. That's almost 12x more transfer a month and 4x the upload speed for £10 more a month.
The complete opposite trend is happening in the oriental countries. While we talk about MB lines and caps, they are talking GB lines with totally unlimited usage.
As a fellow BTer and moderator, I too feel the frustration that many are feeling.
We {the staff} are trying to find ways of turning this site into a community, instead of just a porn site in the minds of the users. This would help with the hit n runners and make people feel more responsible for their actions. Of course there will always be scum, but at least it's a step in the right direction.
