But both Be* and UKonline have fair user policys

Nobody on be*, UKO or Bulldog LLU has ever been told off for using too much so the Fair Use Policies are all pretty irrelevant at the moment.

AOL will soon be taken over anyway and then you will see a FUP appear pretty sharpish by its new owners.

You have to remember that AOL's UK ISP is unprofitable which is why they are looking to sell.

like you said "at the moment".
I'm sure they will in time, just like your sure AOL new owners will have a FUP.
But atm I think they want anyone they can with LLU with the trouble there seems to be with it.
(reading the large amounts of posts about LLU on this forum).
