considering if you really hammered a 330mb line you could download 200TB, so 4TB is less then 5% of possible total download.

My calcs get about 100TB for a month at 330Mb. Doesn't change your plans etc, but it does change your % usage. Maybe my sums are wrong?

your right,

I just used: http://www.thecloudcalculator.com/calculators/file-t...

100TB would take roughly 30days to transfer @330

4Tb would be 4% a month

Well at least 1TB equates to 1%. Easy to work out if you get full speed of 330 Meg.

The point was about the calculation, it was about my maximum usage ever of 4TB in a given month and what it would equate to on the new service and the possible concern of being contacting for abusing a service. At 4% I doubt anyone would call it abusive.

. I am not sure people here have read any contracts,

A lot of assumptions being made

Tell me about it - you assume none of us have ever read a contract. I read every one I get cover to cover before I sign.

Does that include all the Ts&Cs of software before you install them? If so then I'm thinking you don't use much software or you'd probably still be working your way through the first one

Great response.

I am sure will agree with all the contracts you have read most of them are pretty standard. What people here seem to be alluding to is Cerberus will screw me over where as another isp won't, this is all based upon wording in T&C's. When almost every isp will have similar agreements.

I agree with you Snake.

I have also order a FTToD line through Cerberus via my business.

So far they have been nothing but professional, friendly and appear to be very well organised. I'm not worried about their AUP as it's there to protect them legally from misuse and abuse.

One thing that is strange is that they never allowed me to pay on credit card. I paid on debit card to have some chargeback protection if they fail to deliver which I don't think they will.

I am now waiting for my survey. My biggest worry is actually now with Openreach and that they will find some excuse why they can't run the line to my house because of the conservation area I live in.

I'm in band E so my install costs are high.

I'll update you all along with Snake on my experience.

The reason I didn't go with FlluidOne who seem very professional too was purely based on price. I didn't see the justification for paying nearly double a month over 36 months and also then being forced to use an overly spec'ed router for my needs for an extra £800.

I want the cheapest option to get a fibre line installed so that I can then switch to normal FTTP and not get ripped off.

AS mentioned above I'm not concerned about being able to download TB's.

What sort of conservation area? AONB and Green Belt were not a problem where I live.

I don't blame them for not allowing you to pay by credit card. The difference in fees between a credit card and a debit card on such a bill can be considerable.
