No such thing as unlimited...
you get unlimited downloads. i dont mean download speed. you get a fare usage policy which is 40gb a month. i never use the 40gb in one month and i dont think anyone else would. if you go to the extreme and use like 100gb obviosuly theyll notice and cap your bandwidth for afew days. but its unlimited meaning you dont get charged for downloading after a certain gb. theres no limit basically but all they ask you is you dont abuse it.
I know exactly what you mean and theres still no such thing as unlimited..
thats a dozen films.. I know people who use a lot more... but thats not the point.. the point is..
How is 40gb limit....unlimited ????
Thats you conned then....
A film is 4gb. If you spend all month downloading one film after another... how many gig is that and what do you think will happen.... if they stop your service for a few days as you think.. how is that unlimited?
There really is no such thing as unlimited... I am off to wycombe now.. take some time to figure it out.. google.. ask yer mates... Try to find me anyhting in life or in the world that is unlimited.... you have 14 hrs...
4gb films? where you downloading films? every film i download is on average 700mb. if your wasting 4gb on one film then i can advise you where to get them.
last month i downloaded rougly 60gb and uploaded around 40gb to various torrent sites. i checked my statistics on bitlord for that by the way. so thats 100gb bandwidth in 1 month. you should try their service before knocking it
check sky's terms and condition's. they have different packages, some have 40gb download limit and some have unlimited. they only have the fair usage policy to watch their backs incase you get people running like 5 pc's in one home and downloading/uploading 100's of gb each month. if you read their term's and conditions it also states that in one area everyones bandwidth is affected. so if you live in a street where 20 people have sky broadband the chances of your bandwidth being capped is more likely. yet if you live in an area with say 2 people then the chances of it being capped are less. meaning you can abuse more bandwidth.
but you'd know this if you actually read up on them instead of knocking it before trying it. so much for needing 14 hours.
oh and one more thing, as for me being conned? i pay 35 quid for the whole sky package yea, in the past 3 months ive downloaded/uploaded hundreds of ps2 games and dvd's. youve now got 14 hours to work out how much money ive saved on official ps2 titles and dvd's

i would not go with sky even if it was free i have heard of far to many people going with sky and them screwing it up. also sky do not offer static ip addresses. i need them for work.
if the movies that are being downloaded are from sky anytime then sky will probably change the settings for the downloads. at the end of the day i go nowhere near 40gb a month. plus sky realy does suck.
i dont see how sky sucks. the only thing that sky has srewed people around with is activation dates. when you jion you also get a free wireless netgear router. it takes time for sky to accept your broadband and you need a bt landline. other than that they're perfect. the download/upload speed never slows down, and my average download speed is around 225kb tested it at

i have spoken to quite a few people that went to sky and they compleatly screwed up the installation. they were going through the activation process for 3 months and then when they wanted to cancel the account (after not being in line due to waiting to be activated) they were realy slow in removing the tag on the phone line.
sigh.. I dont download films.. it was an example.. change it to 1gig or half a gig... the questions the same.. if your downloading gig after gig 24 hrs a day for a month they will stop you.. thus not unlimited... I dont download films...
excuse me? when i have knocked the service? i happen to like sky so dont put words in my mouth.. sky are great for me.. its you and your posting telling accyweb members that its unlimited.... I am knocking you not sky.... no company can offer unlimited anything.. its impossible.
what is wrong with you?
Virgin claim to have unlimited downloads but I've seen on some forum that they cut your broadband speeds if you download alot.. speeds do seem to drop at certain times of day with virgin.
Most providers say it's unlimited but have a fair usage policy which basically means you get a warning if you are downloading more than they deem fit.

It's more of a whole thing.. theres no such thing.. not on the internet.. not in any walk of life.. theres no such thing as unlimited.. internet providors use the word to entice people and the small print tells the truth... unfortunatly people on messageboards just shout unlimited.. then run round like headless chickens when you pull them up on it
Unlimted with limits isn't unlimited

That speed test is rubbish, I only got 400Kb/s and I know for a fact that I regularly download large files at 800Kb/s even at my mum which is only 8Mb.
When you can download things at around 1.8Mb/s its pretty easy to reach a large amount of downloads! Luckily Bulldog don't have any caps and don't have any fair useage policies that im aware of, although that might change as our customer base has technically been acquired by tiscali but we're still apart of the fast Bulldog network
Dvd's are 4Gb, the 700Mb films you download are compressed versions which are not as high a quality. Heck even the 4Gb dvd ones are compressed, regular dvds are around 9Gb.
4gig is the full dvdrip, with titles, extra's and menu's. the 700mb files are usually just the film and nothing else. which is what i like, just burn it to disk and watch it with no hassle. cant complain when its free
sky's package says umlimited kipax, but MAY be subject to a fair usage policy depending on your area or how much you abuse. ive used 100gb in a month and my internet has'nt been slowed or capped. simple. try reading everything instead of reading what you want to answer and ignoring the rest.

i read what you posted.. I know what sky package says.. you said unlimited.. your wrong... sky is correct.. your not..
its been two days now.. have you found anyhting on this earth thats unlimited.. or are you just gonna keep telling me to read skys terms?
theres no such thing as unlimited.. argue it all you want.. but theres no such thing..
