foobah Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 crappy service here in the uk too, although bt did make a step in the right direction a few years ago, by laying fibre optic connections from newly build houses in some areas. naturally, they'll keep this quiet and milk the current connection speeds as much as possible, but it looks like we're slightly more prepared for fast connectivity than we think. thank god for my labs own uni connection :) hooray for .se's connections opening up more warez channels now though, people will have to wait 10 seconds, rather than a minute, to get their cracked PS now heh personally i'd rather be in .jp and get the 1G connections a few months later . . . :laugh: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/251091-1-gbps-for-swedish-home-users/page/6/#findComment-585593693 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ariad Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 damn, but at that connection they must have a BW cap on them to prevent warez servers or something, i dunno its just a guess. 585016695[/snapback] Thats not how we do it here in Sweden :) Seriously, I havent seen any company offering broadband with caps or anything like that.. :laugh: :happy: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/251091-1-gbps-for-swedish-home-users/page/6/#findComment-585593845 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radium Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 (edited) There is one ISP, that I know of, that have a cap. Bredbandsbolaget's 100Mbit service, 300GB per month, for about the same price as Labs2's 1Gbit. Other than that... I haven't heard of any limits.
