Sentech say only 2% of there users complain.

Well here's and idea, if everyone on this forum, did a constant download from international sites using download managers from set times to set times, everyone would hurt on the bandwidth, and Sentech may be inclined to buy more bandwidth as the unhappy user should go up to 20 - 30 % any idea's ?

Assuming they are now doing bandwidth contention, and not plain old sharing. In a call to helpdesk yesterday, it was confirmed by a "supervisor" that bandwidth is still shared (not contended). As a result, the other 98% won't see any difference!
