I thought I did answer your question, i pointed out at least the limits that are on the fibre service that the ISP i use have and no doubt a lot of smaller ISPs have the same limits.
Plusnet which is one of the larger ISps also got limits, from 40GB to 120Gb a month depending how much you pay.
Bt offer so called unlimited, but use traffic management, and so do Talk Talk
At the moment there are very few providers of fibre

any that got traffic management will do it, Plusnet being the worse.

“As for Talk Talk, they are not my 'beloved' they just happen to be the ISP I use that has provided me (and friends and family) with a consistently good service and I would praise any ISP I used that did the same.”
Maybe, My Isp offers me a service, and they offer me a service that is reliable, sure speed is not great but no ISp is going to give me fast speed, you can chge the way ADSL works.
Tell a lie one ISp could give me a faster speed, a local one, but they use wireless technology, which to be honest I am looking into.
i know someone who is getting it installed in a couple of weeks time so I will have a look at what it is like and then look at costs.
If anyone ask me what ISp I am using, I will tell them and tell them what it does for me, but I don't go around as if I got shares in the company and try and convince people that it is the best company around

FYI my lad and I download never less than 300GB a month and sometimes far higher without problems.”
That is nice for you, see what it is like when you get fibre and Talk Talk realises that it is costing them to much as they will then be back using BT network. the reason they can make broadband cheap and unlimited is because they use their own network, et of their own network and onto Bt network, it could be different.
Try using around 600Gb or more a month and see if Talk Talk will complain about that, i myself don't but I know someone who does on the Cable and wireless network and never had a problem.
Anyway, getting back onto topic, well kind off, we still need decent broadband in this country at a decent price for people to make use of services like Netflix to their full.
