Boo Hoo for ISP's! People are already paying the ISP's for the bandwidth and its the customer so to ask for more money is cheeky at best.

Did they think they can offer these 8Mb packages and unlimited downloads etc. and that no one would use it?!?!

Trouble is they want to take your money for high bandwidth connections but then complain when you try to use it to its full potential! Its a joke really!

Also, if they are not ready for the impact of streaming media should they be in the ISP business...its not as if they couldn't see it coming!

Maybe Tiscali could put heavy QoS in place or even block the iPlayer BBC Content, but if they did, I would like to see how fast customers migrate to another ISP that can handle the pressure and bandwidth requirements!
