And I'm already over my 20GB download limit. Being throttled to 64k speeds sucks. At least it's only for 4 days.

your ISP limits the amount you can download at a certain speed? That sucks.

Yeah, almost all Australian ISPs have "download limits" once you exceed that you either pay for the extra data usage, or you are speed-capped.

It is stupid, and I think unique to Australia. I blame Telstra, the former publically owned telecom monopoly.

Someone move in and start an ISP with no limits and they coud clean up.

Good luck when all the infrastructure is owned by a single company and they charge ISPs rental fees based on data usage Razz

Not unique to Australia. I have a 20GB limit too.
