*Ron S* formulated on Tuesday :

They complained about people hogging the bandwidth and suggested that they go over to broadband where they can have an 'always on' connection without any limits and when they've got everybody transferred across, they start imposing caps and limits again. :-( -- Gareth...

It took them long enough to decide on this one, they must have known this for long enough but decide to hammer it now probably because they are having bandwidth/contention problems. -- Windows is NOT a virus.
