@ThatBrazilianGuy Or there are programs such as Internet Speed Meter Lite which I use to mainly see my download speed, but can be useful to see data caps too
@djsmiley2k Yeah, we used to have cable internet that did that. 100Mbps line, after 5GB per evening it slows to 60Mbps, then after 10 it goes to 40Mbps. Oh no, 40Mbps... how will I live?
@djsmiley2k There's been ten years of forum discussions on this topic, and it's been officially published on VM's website, NTL's website, and Telewest's website before VM even existed.
The worst thing about VM is the terribad hardware that can't support the service
use your own router and them in modmem mode
you'll get all the speeds
@qwertyuiop src plz
Yes, you could cause the superhub and stuff to go into meltdown quite easily, but just using it in modem mode, you'd find you're not actually throttled..
There's zero benefit vs. my lazy method of... let Youtube do the uploading
@Mokubai Hardly. BT's got far more capacity than can possibly be used by uploading
All the cabinets are provisioned with symmetric GbE fibre, for 80 down 20 up service. i.e. there's equal upload and download capacity, but lines are configured to only ever be able to use 25% as much upload.
@qwertyuiop Well, the head of the telecom association blamed the gamers when questioned about data caps being introduced nationwide on jan 2017. Guess he was right after all...
In fact the only change to their only two FTTC tiers since 2011 is the bottom tier got upgraded from 38Mbps to 50-something Mbps
Looks more and more likely the top tier is never going to change, until they roll out FTTdP infrastructure which is apparently going to happen between 2017 and 2025.
They could theoretically deliver 200Mbps download service via the existing cabs, but various plans for that went silent :-/

Lol, just what I really need, a USB External Floppy Disk Drive
I am currently attempting to transfer files from an internal server to an external server based terminal. I have copied the files I need onto an external hard drive using the internal based server.
However, when I attempt to use the external hard drive on the external machine I get an error that...
@Bob I'm off tomorrow and Monday so if there are some bonus gaming sessions in you, I'm up for them.
and by "tomorrow and Monday" I mean U.S. Friday and U.S. Monday
that means the nights where I don't care how late I stay up include: tonight (~6 hours from now), and similar time slots for the following three nights.
or I can play during your (early) evening, depending on when exactly that is for me
