I was with BT and had no problem with them. Just moved everything over to Sky for simplicity and a touch cheaper over a year.
I have no idea what a 'found' but it looked like my phone.

Unlimited:

Monthly usage limits: Base – 2GB; Mid – 40GB; Max – Unlimited

I can easily cancel if they decide to move the goalposts and change from unlimited:

7. How we can change Sky Broadband (a) Sky Broadband is variable. We can change, replace or withdraw Products at any time. For example, we can vary the maximum speeds or capacity of your chosen Product. If we reduce the level of service provided by your chosen Product and you reasonably consider that you have been disadvantaged by this you may move to another Product or end this Contract under Condition 11, even if you are within your Minimum Term (see Condition 11(a)).

translation = "If we notice that you are downloading more than we would like, we will throttle or cap you. If you don't like it, you can fuck off."

You're arguing with yourself now...

Default Hmmmm

Someone should test this out and see what they do. The wording does suggest unlimited use on the higher package and if they do decide to cap it then that would suggest a breach of contract no?

Personally it makes no odds to me and I didnt buy into then for this reason. Im just a lazy bastard that doesnt need to go to the video shop any more...
