  4. One size doesn't fit all by Richard+Lamont · · Score: 1 · on ISPs Experiment With Broadband Download Capping

    The solution is to offer tiered services at different prices. My ISP (Andrews & Arnold) offers a choice of 'lite', 'standard' and 'all you can eat' DSL services at a choice of 512, 1024 or 2048 kb/s down (all 256 up) at prices ranging from GBP 27.95 to 235.00 per month. They can be found at http://sod.ms/ !

    Microsoft don't need to, they just use .ms (:-)
    For example, explore.ms

    Of course, others get in on the act.

  6. ADSL Usage in the UK by f3lix · · Score: 1 · on Time Warner to Charge Extra for Over-Quota Bandwidth

    In the UK, we seem to be reasonable lucky - even though high speed ADSL is still hideously expensive (a 2Mbit down/256kbit up link will cost you a couple of hundred UKP a month), there is a huge choice of ISPs that are accessible to everyone within reach of an ADSL enabled exchange. Coupled with recent moves to lower prices, things are actually looking good for once in the UK. I have a 512kbit/256kbit link, with a /29 subnet, can run whatever servers I choose to, and am paying 30UKP/month. I'm limited to 20Mb/hour during peak usage times (9am to 5pm), but outside these times there are no real limitations at all (as demonstrated when I accidentally mirrored ~9GB of the kernel.org website...). For anyone who's interested, check out aaisp.net (and they're linux friendly too: sod.ms

  7. ADSL in the UK by f3lix · · Score: 1 · on Rogers Cable Plans Fees to Curb Bandwith Hogs

    Well after reading many of the comments, I'm starting to feel rather lucky. My ADSL connection, provided by Andrews & Arnold only gives me 512kbit downlink, 256kbit uplink, but with it comes a block of IP addresses (as many as I can justify having), and no restrictions on what I run. On top of that, they're Linux friendly (and own the domain name sod.ms to prove it) and have been happy to help me out with any problems that I've had. They are one of the more expensive providers in the UK (I pay 70UKP/month), but it really is worth the cash.
