You beat me to it smile

I'll admit I haven't studied it deeply, but I'd guess that unmetered uploads are the less common.

I did say mostly smile

Off the top of my head of ISP's I'm familiar with:
Zen don't
AA don't
Sky don't
TT don't
IDnet don't
O2/BE don't
------------------------------------------------
VM sort of do although it's not a true cap
BT do

So it was a generalisation but I think alot less meter upstream than they do on the downstream!

This sounds very promising, the 300GB limit was the only thing that slightly put me off BT Infinity, I am probably under it every month but it's nice not to have to keep checking.

The fact they are removing the FUP seems to indicate they are confident they have plenty of bandwidth going into the future, which is one thing some people seem to doubt about BT Infinity. If there were any doubts then I'm sure BT wouldn't be scrapping the 300GB limit. (There was no need to, even at 300GB it was still a lot more than any other FTTC provider for the price).

Throttling P2P at peak times becomes less of an issue, you can now download overnight without any usage limits.

That does make a difference, though I am still reluctant to consider BT as I was a customer of BT broadband several years ago (back in the days of fixed 512K, 1Mb and 2Mb connections). The BB was fine, however c/s left much to be desired.

I left when BT said that I could not have 2Mb as my line could not support it, they had a 'computer says no' attitude and would not progress the order. I then moved to another provider who then spoke to BT (wholesale) and I got my 2Mb (connection was rock solid) as usual BTs data on my line was incorrect.

This is where the smaller providers are often better and prepared to do more for their customers.
