The only provider who can give u that is CSC at university. Not sure whether they give out bandwidth though for non-staff.
Would like to learn about your suggestions though james. Maltanet is definitely capping too but do give u your allocated bandwidth. onvol is completely restricted but also give u your fair share of bandwidth however the limit is at 4 gig per month with a 256 connection. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of James Attard Sent: Sunday, January 23, 2005 5:29 PM To: Malta Linux User Group - general list Subject: Re: [LINUX.ORG.MT] Any good ISPs to go around?
