Since Belgacom (one of the two biggest belgian internet providers of our superduper internet duopoly) raised their monthly volumes!
This means I now have 25 GB to spend instead of 12.
For the people who have no idea what I'm talking about:
Very few countries limit the monthly internet usage people can use. This is called a datalimit. If you exceed your monthly volume your were transfered to a 64kbps connection. However, if you wanted to have regular internet again you had to pay (adsl-customers) 1 EUR/1GB. Belgium is one of these countries since our government wants to prevent "illegal" downloading etc..
Some internet providers even abolished these limits..
Any other countries who have this datalimit?

i can't wait till august, when Telenet will raise their limits!
12GB => 20GB
35GB => 60GB
Now saving some money to go to dommel, since they offer no limit for 5€ more.
afaik there are none left in the UK it was a short lived thing.
Belgacom all!!!
I bet if anyone who says they have an "unlimited" usage allowance tries to download at their max speed 24/7 for the whole month their ISP will contact them
no limits here, 12mbit with ipTV (~7-8mbit when TV is on) (+ can surf internet on the TV, rent videos there, etc) for 25eur a month
nice developing country you are living in
in my shit country i have 16mb / iptv and no fucking limits nor fair usage bullshit
But the real reason is that the 2 biggest providers earn to much money with their "extra download-volume"-sale. 5€ for 5GB, and we for example buy 3 every month...
Mine net comes with the rent, 100/10, no limits.
I pay 32€ for 16Mbit/1Mbit without phone flatrate
It is not the real reason, Belgacom is using his government duopol to do what they want (with telenet).
But they can't make an unlimited offert on adsl2+ 24mb / 1mb (actual Belgacom network) because it will kill all the alternative isp. IBPT has to protect them but who fucking care ?
That why we are blocked with an overpriced internet, next step is VDSL2 with a riddiculous speed and a nice datalimitation..
We need an isp like free.fr to have a good internet quality for a "normal" price.
In France they have Internet 28 Mb unlimited + adsltv hd+ unlimited phone + 10 Go for your own website for 29,99 € !!!
edit: we can have 12Mbit with adsl go if we give 50 € (free for adsl plus and belgacomtv users).
2M/1M ADSL, 32euros per month. Bit expensive if you ask me :l
