I could argue that is unfair. That usage should still be unlimited but charged at a commercial rate per GB, be that 10p per GB, £1 per GB, or whatever.
I don't.
Good idea, may remove peak time congestion and reduce P2P.
I pay my licence fees.

It doesn't bother me. What I get for the money is in my opinion well worth it.
I can only see the number of people cancelling their TV licence increase, as viewing organically moves away from live TV to on-demand. What this means is that the licence fee for existing subscribers will have to keep increasing, to accommodate the falling numbers of people who are licenced.

So you are saying all BBC radio and television output should be on a pay-to-consume system?
I would love to, I ONLY watch Doctor Who and if I could I would happily not pay for any BBC services and just buy the next series on DVD (which I do anyways)
£165 a year saved.
I see the whole liscence fee as a waste of money given I consume 15 hours a year of BBC services.

Logic fail Adrian  .
How much would the DVDs cost if they were the only thing that funded the making of the series?

It's about time the license fee was scrapped

Pretty much.
If the BBC wants everyone to have a licence for watching on-demand video content, we'd need to be licenced to watch Youtube. It could end up on being a mandatory tax on broadband subscribers.
If they just want people to be licenced to watch on-demand BBC iPlayer content, they should introduce a authentication system for iPlayer, plenty of other content providers seem to manage it.

We had a bob before who used to do this,
Why it's almost as though they were one and the same person, couldn't be, could it ?!?!
Shall we ask the OP if internal wiring can have an affect on ADSL services ? 
But he will not be able to answer when on his enforced holiday!

"Rarely" means you do use the service though 
NB. Earlier you said the BBC Licence was £165 - good news FYI it's only £145.50

Yep, only read that after I'd posted. It's only for 24 hrs, I'm sure he'll answer when he is back !
