That's disappointing. I can't believe they consider 750GB a month excessive for an FTTP connection!

I can't believe it either, and I'd say in practice they wouldn't. After all, in theory on a 330Mbps connection it would be possible to download approximately 120GB per hour, so 750GB would only be around 6 hours usage at maximum speed.

I'd be inclined to believe the comments copy/pasted by lee111s here and here.

I'd be disappointed if adslmax has talked himself out of going for the Cerberus deal.

Absolutely no need for that.

I agree with him to be honest. You either want FTTPoD or you don't.

You're skirting around looking for reasons not to order it.

Excuse me, I do want FTTPoD cos I have £20k in account. If I want this i will take it but not with 750GB usage allowance with AUP no way. Also I get bit suspicious over Cerberus offering 3 year contracts to residential users on FTTPoD which Ofcom don't allow this to residential users.

If you do really want to order it you could just say you are a business if the question arises. Easy enough to make up a name.

They ask for a company registration number, which they check at companies house

Not worth the hassle, and are looking into trouble ahead with AUP policy (not 100% sure of this) and 3 years contract on residential FTTPoD order. Sound too fishy to me for this cheaper FTTPoD at £87.50 per month from this isp - cerberus.

I am going to stop this now. Going to stay on with my FTTC for now. Until G.Fast come along or until Openreach decided it time to give FTTPoD to all residential sooner or later.

I can wait anyway. But for Cerberus the offer is too good to be true with 750GB on AUP policy arguement and 3 years contract got me into suspicious.

And the merry-go-round starts again.

Until you try, you'll never know.

So if you want it, got for it. It you don't get the idea out of your head and stop discussing it.

I doubt anyone is really interested in your finances, so not sure why you keep bringing it up?

And pressure from maybe large provider that used to rate limit after you exceed various levels...

Well adslmax might not have a company but couldn't he be a self-employed [insert profession] working from home who needs a fast connection?

Well that's a crock of *** if you ask me. Not every "business" is registered with company's house.
I've had a number of business contracts (broadband/mobile phone/van lease/security) and never been asked for my company registration number.
Probably millions of self-employed sole traders who that would exclude (myself included).
