the bane of my existence recently. Who uses sky broadband? I am considering going over to them. Post office is managed by BT, and now most evenings and weekend my connection is hugely throttled despite never recieving any email or notice of breaching fair use, excessive use etc. * +

won't be available til 2015 at the earliest i believe. I am just looking for a package that won't destroy my speed after about 4pm until midnight or so * +
