Just discovered I should be able to get up to 6.5mb-ish on ADSL max in my area - who should I go with?

I want no port blocking, traffic shaping etc and unlimited BW with no "acceptable use" policies?

about Pipex starting an AUP

Pipex's AUP Terms and Agreement

It says on one hand its all about traffic shaping and sh*t. On the other its about leagal use of the net connection.

Aye I'm on pipex. I think I hammered the BW one time downloading over 50 gigs in a month (steam, game demos and other sh*t). They didn't bother me at all. I think Pipex got rated second best ISP in the UK.

they say their acceptable use policy is only during peak hours so I will simply limit my BW for those apps during those hours (6-12) - I can MORE than make up for it during the other 18 hours a day with an 8mb line...
