Groovy. "Broadband" is making it way here, but it's fuc*ing slow and expensive it's not worth it. Plus there is a 3 gig per month limit.
Fortunately I work for an ISP so I don't have to worry about these things.

I'll get my NTL in about a month when I move. Going with the 600kb line coz there is no point in having anything faster.
I thought they had download limit of 1gb a day? Just checking now to find out. [UPDATE :Heh, forgot you live in SA Hal!]

Found it :
http://www.ntlworld.com/legals/user-policy.htm
2 (h) in excess of "normal use" bandwidth limits set out in this section.
ntl: home's broadband and dial-up services are intended for normal recreational or educational use by individuals and families and our pricing and network architecture have been designed accordingly. Customers who use the services more heavily than a normal home user will reduce the performance of the network for other customers.
"Normal use" of the service is defined as up to 1 gigabyte downstream of data transfer daily (which equates to approximately 200 music tracks, 650 short videos, 10,000 pictures or around 100 large software programmes downloaded per day).

I'm on ntl, the 150K connection, although I actually get 256 as there's less subscribers in my area so everyone gets faster.
The 1gb a day limit is a bit of a nuisance, although you're allowed to go over twice in any 14 day period, and I know people who regularly exceed it and haven't got in trouble *yet*. I've gone over twice in the last week so I paused my downloads until midnight just to be safe as I'm up to 985mb.
NTL has a pretty good news server, although it has periods of downtime (most recent was 3 days last week), my favourites being
alt.binaries.punk, alt.binaries.sounds.jpop and alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.gothic-industrial from which I regularly download sh!tloads of mp3's and videos.
