Guys. I'm looking at getting broadband for the house. Is a 1 or 2Gb download limit likely to be an issue, or should i go direct to unlimited downloads? Has anyone got a feel for what an average user would download in a month? Cheers, A.

Are you talking 1gb a day/week/month?

My assumption was that all the ISPs talked in terms of monthly limits. A quick check of Wanadoo and BT seems to support this.

Then 1bg isn't even the size of a Linux distribution

This is what Tiscali say you can get for the various limits https://www.tiscali.co.uk/products/broadband/10xfaster.html?code=ZZ-NL-11XY Have a look at the link on the bottom right of the page 'How much usage is 30gb' Tiscali believe that the average usage is 0.8gb/month, no idea how much I use never looked, I think my connection is/was unlimited.

Fantastic. Thanks. That's a higher number than I had guesstimated, so that seems reasonable.
