DUH ! Have the ISPs only just realised this was going to be an issue ?
Also how much are they charging YouTube, MySpace et al for all the bandwidth they chew up since they launched.

If they want to get really silly they could start to penalise all those sites that have large pages with loads of images. there was a timewhen site owners limited the size of their pages so they performed well on dial-up connections.

I can see things from their point of view but then again don't they sell their expensive unlimited 8Mb services on the basis that you can watch movies and video streams online ?

Again the UK is lagging behind the rest of the wired world. With the recent report saying that the UK came near the bottom of the league for fast and cheap broadband and now when someone launches a state of the art service the ISPs bellyache about bandwidth usage.
