Can you believe this e-mail I got from my ISP about high usage of their broadband service. They've introduced the Fair Usage Policy because too many people are using their service and they don't have enough bandwith for everyone. So "heavy users" are being penalised with download caps. I queried mine and this was part of the response:

There is a monthly review in which the accounts are reviewed for the usage. If your account has less usage, the Fair Usage Policy (FUP) will be removed from your account.

For this, you will have to lower the usage to approximately 50% of what it is now. It is always recommended that switch off your router or modem when you do not use internet because some programs in computer keep accessing the internet in order to get updated.

If usage continues to be very high, we may reluctantly give a member notice that their account will be terminated.


So their going to terminate customers for taking full advantage of the service they are providing? I'm not expert but that surely won't stand up in a court of law?

Unfortunatly you agree to be governed by said fair usage policy when you sign up, so yes, it would stand up in court.

What ISP are you with? I've never been hassled with a fair usage policy yet, which is suprising the amount of shite I download.

So move out then.

Not so much a rant but tomorrow I shall be out of action for a while as I have to go to the GP clinic for some minor surgery. I'm having some skin tags removed but they require local anaesthetic for each one and I HATE needles. And since some are on some softer parts of my body as well as my neck I'm not looking forward to being jabbed all over. cry.gif

Try living here in the South then. Our house prices and rent are so steep you need to be a millionaire just to afford a bedset.

Last time I got "The Itch" it was £200 a Week for a 2 bedroom flat in a normal working class area. Unless you get on the council then it's only £60 - £80 a week.

Unfortunately my name isn't Patel, I don't have a pregnant Girlfriend or a Criminal Record so I have no chance of getting a council flat in the next 5 years.

Grrrrr. I've been trying to download Bound For Glory but I've just discovered that the file I was downloading was removed from the tracker so that was not only time wasted but it's eaten into my download limit.

Since my ISP has capped me, the limit is 40gb and I'm already at 37.50gb!! The annoying thing is that is not just files downloaded that is everything on the net - that means web pages, you tube videos, e-mail attachments, etc. - as well as uploads!!

I'll have to wait until Wednesday for when Bravo 2 show BFG! First TNA PPV I've not seen ahead of time.

Does it count for your temporary internet cache? I discovered the other day once I put Norton 360 on my machine I had abotu 3Gb of temporary Internet stuff on there that I hadn't removed.

It shouldn't as I clear my cache out every day.

I have a DU meter to record my "performances" so I'm keeping an eye on how much I am using and how long I am online. It's quite amazing how much you download just from basic web surfing.

Basically I can't download any huge files over the next 16 days. No more Impact or Anime downloads for me...cry.gif

This is pretty much a rant at myself more than anything!

I currently live in deepest darkest Yorkshire with my parents, while my girlfriend and her daughter live in The Lake District. They are planning on moving down here next spring/summer, but at the minute I have a fairly low paid job and I need to be earning more oney to be able to afford a place of our own.

The trouble is, I'm just too damn lazy to get off my fat arse and find another job!

AND I promised my girlfriend I would learn to drive before she got down here, but I can't afford lessons at the minute.

AND I haven't got any gigs lined up, and I haven't seen any live music for ages because, guess what, I can't afford!

AND to top it all off, I really miss my girlfriend cry (Soppy git, I know!)

Thus concludes my rant!

Surely your girlfriend should understand if you haven't got much money and should still like you regardless of that? Ideas of finding a house should be put on hold until it is financially possible - for both of you.

If you can't afford to learn how to drive then wait until you can. Or get your dad or a mate to give you some pointers so when you do start to learn properly you've got a head start when you do have proper lessons and thus the number of lessons you will need *should* be fewer and less costly. wink.gif

Hey guys, thanks for the concern and advice. Funnily enough, a promotion just became available at work and I've been advised to apply for it, so things may be looking up already!

Sorry about the negative post, I've only been here 5 minutes and already I'm sounding like a miserable git! I can promise you I'm actually a fun-loving guy!smile

Why is Quicktime so destructive to my PC? I suddenly got a message for the first time today on YouTube telling me I couldn't watch the videos because I either had Javascript turned off (not true) or I didn't have the latest Adobe flash player. So I installed the latest Javascript player and it did sweet FA. When I went to the YouTube help page I got another message saying I needed to install QuickTime. So I download the latest QuickTime player and installed. But that wont work because of a "buffer overrun" so I tried to uninstall it and try again but the bugger gets a fatal error when I go to uninstall it!

So until I can unistall and sort this Quick Time problem out I can't watch anything on YouTube and probably god knows what else as a result.

Well the brakes are now worse than I thought not only do the front brakes need doing but it also seems that the back and infact the whole braking system is shot. So the bill is now another £130 on top of the original cost. As my dad says you'll never be rich as long as you own a car...

Well, I put £10 on my mobile phone account last Thursday yet when i made a call this afternoon I suddenly got the "1 minute left" message. I checked my balance and it was 22 pence! How the BLEEP can three short calls under a minute and two text messages wipe out £10 in 5 days?!?!?

I think it may be this site I signed up to (which was supposed to free) in order to send a long text message to my Dad when he was abroad in September. It would appear that they charged my phone to pay for my account which I didn't know I had with them that was somehow standing at £18.

I've cancelled that account now so hopefully I won't have this problem again.

ok so It's a long ass story. I told one girl I'd wait for her to make her long ass decision. I've got a ncie one slept next to me, but I told her she's taken so I wouldn't even thought I want to. so now it's 2.46 and I need to "Relieve some pressure" so I'm listening to the shit that is "Hello Goodbye" and thinking about what I'd do to the bird asleep next to me if I was allowed, but I can't so I won't :@:@:@ never mind me rambling.

lol, na but soooooo many forms. I used to work for the D.W.P and it wasn't this much fucking hassle to apply. If I get it it'll be sweet though, I'll have to change my lifestyle a bit though.

No Weekday Drinking, No 'Experimenting', No Scoring on a Wednesday and not going to work on the Thursday.

It's a whole new world :S Responcibility is a scary word for me lol

Fucking ouch! Mate, I feel your pain. I once had a power cut while I was loading Guitar Hero and my entire memory card got wiped. Everything on my PS2 was gone. That's essentially 6 years worth of videogames just cleaned in that second. Needless to say, tears were shed.

That sucks Handsome dead..but i know how that feels to as the same thing happened with my PSone with a whole load of FF game saves and other RPG games.The odd thing is sometimes, for no reason, some of my files get currupted and undeletable on my cards,even with the Official memory cards, that seemed to happen to some of my games.But indeed Power cuts can be a right sod in the middle of a game...Now because of that, i have no urge to continue my game in DQ for a long time..:(

I had to walk away from the offer of a £16,750 a year job today because of a God damned Dental appointment to Get put out and my Wisdom Teeth ripped out I've been waiting 6 months for.

Fucking typical, I offered to start the next day but aparently they're under the impression I won't be able to talk properly.

Well, you probably won't be able to speak properly because the anaesthetic and any possible swelling that comes with such an operation.

Bad luck though dude...
