Re: I have a problem with "unlimited" said by statecop:
I ran into this with DirecPC a few years ago for downloading over 200MB in 1 hour I think it was (it has been a while). So they throttled my speed back to that of dialup!
That's their so-called FAP (fair access policy), which they have hidden away in some forgotten crevice of their web site. They give you 169 MB/hour (or 224 MB/hour at strange times of night, if I remember correctly), but in no way do they make this clear to their prospective customers. Comcast, on the other hand, seems to have no indication of what their "limit" is. They're making me think twice about signing up for their service if and when they come to my neighborhood.
