The reason its so cheap is because its capped to a monthly limit. So if u want to dload alot it wont be much cop at all

No idea, but 30gb is nothing per month. I quite often double or triple that amount on my 1mbit connection, and that still isn't much really.

I use it just for internet and xbox live, dont really download much at all so that not an issue, not sure it is capped though. Had it for a while now and no problems whatsoever.

Depends how many u do per month

1 movie anywhere from 700mb to 4.5gb
1 album anywhere from 50-120mb

That's potentially 4.5gb just for 2 things, you work it out

I tried Tiscali dial-up ages ago.

TERRIBLE!!!!

Refuse to ever use them again.

I'd avoid Tiscali as an ISP. I'd look at somebody like Eclipse or Zen. Will cost you another tenner a month or so but you get what you pay for IMHO.
