They'll all be equally bad unless you go for some business service willay, it's all BT wholesale if you aren't LLU so they all get charged exactly the same from BT for the bandwidth.

Yeah I can't be dealing with caps though, does my nut in. And we use Plusnet to connect one of the shops up so I'd be giving it to that mate 
Sky want me on the 'Sky Broadband Connect' product, usage limit of 40GB. Any idea how they enforce this guys? (real life experience plz)

Cheers John - I can appreciate that, but some ISPs are not as strict as others, some don't have the technology to cap as well as others.

When we joined they were trying to get me to go on connect, apparently couldn't do the unlimited service (went with O2 in the end) but said that they would waive the limit anyway, so not sure how it's judged. Sky connect was quite expensive for what it was.

Yeah I just need to know how they are with capping, if they just end up complaining and ending my contract early then happy dayz. I don't want to be in the position where I can be charged extra for extra GB of traffic.

To my seedbox yeah, so I'll check in the morning and see I've grabbed aload of shows but then I need to get them to my box at home! So I SCP over during the day while I'm at work so I can enjoy them when I'm not at work.

Not an option, the seedbox has many uses and can achive upload rates that my home connection can only dream about 
PLUS theres still stuff I miss because my RSS feeds arent set up for it, like the odd movie or album I may be after.

Get a flash drive, keep using the seedbox, and transfer stuff using the drive to save on connection? Or does that defeat the object of having a seedbox?

The seedbox is hosted somewhere else, with a much faster connection, not in willay's house.

I'm a PlusNet and they do monitor your bandwidth. They are doing a 3 month free but 60GB cap. I signed up in Feb and get an 80GB cap.
Does me fine as i only download the odd HD film and use RDP. I'm killing 50GB this month at the moment.

Sky throttle you IIRC
seedbox; anything that is completed move to a different directory
home; ftp/scp watch the completed directory for new content, set box to wake up ~3-4am and leech?
