hopped off to Zen Internet all bright and breezy knowing they have no

They already have - existing users can keep "unlimited" on speeds up to
2000 kbps, new users can get "unlimited" only on 250/250 but all of the
other accounts have a download quota of either 20 GB for 24.99 or 50 GB
for the higher fee, and additional GB can be bought for 1 pound per GB.

I suppose with uploading being a fraction of the download speed, they'd
assume outbound traffic is less of a problem, and considering some ISPs
offer a lot more (overall) quota for a similar price (I think Demon may
be one of the few without any quota limits at 24.99) they presumably do
have their accounting heads on and feel they'll more than cover BT cost
of any non-LLU traffic.

The change in BT wholesale prices and provision will force currently
uncapped isps to rethink

One did, within 2-3 days of announcing an 8000 kbps "unlimited" account
and they decided that all "unlimited" accounts now have a 100 GB quota,
so they've annoyed some existing customers, just like latest change for
Freedom to Surf customers...
