yes - thats the only downside... 30mg/month bandwidth limit. thats more than enough for me personally tho (advantageous even, since it means i dont have contention with people downloading all night?).

from the email i got from them:
Not a penny more
We're reducing the cost of your BT Yahoo! Broadband service by £2.99 a month (from £29.99* down to £27.00*) for three months from February or March - depending on your billing date.
You'll keep your 30GB (gigabyte) monthly usage allowance with your new 2Mb service. 30GB usage is more than enough for the vast majority of customers. For example, you can send and receive about 500 photos and watch 6 hours of video downloaded from the web each week.

EasyNet is business only. Their consumer divison is called UKOnline:

8Mbps is only available from exchanges they have their own LLU kit in.

AOL already do unlimited 2mb broadband and have done for a while.

Its 34.99 with free 0800 dialup or 29.99 without.

I've had it for ages and I live in the countryside.
