300gb is nothing

Can someone clarify this.
Does it mean:
1) 300GB + 50 extra for P2P = total 350GB
2) 300GB total, but P2P limit up to 100gb
That throttle still makes the net slow, but usable until the new month. The 300GB is almost double the 185GB. I can live with this new setup
1) i would think.
300GB of all usage except NNTP and P2P and you are throttled. You will still then be able to torrent at full speed for the 50GB even if your browsing is throttled. 2 different caps

Till Microsoft/Apple/Google etc. comes out with an update then we're going to hit that limit fast.
Yes, I agree. Maybe a night owl component needs to be included to allow for heavy download scheduling

That's great. Thanks for clarifying!
Ok so does this now segregate the FUP for p2p of does it count to your total? Cause 300gb everything else and 100gb dedicated to p2p would be what I gather from that reply. Or is the FUP p2p included in the 300gb? She wasn't very clear on that AND I doubt she will be moving forward
So is it 2mbps indefinitely after the AUP or just until 400gb? Or is it only till they change their minds again?
This tweet from Jacqui O'Sullivan says it's for the rest of the month.

Nice glad with what they have done to the product now.
I was wondering the same thing. Would be nice to get clarity on this.
P2P and NNTP never counted towards the browsing cap.
300GB for everything BUT P2P and NNTP
50GB for P2P and NNTP - this can go full speed even when the 300GB cap is reached for other usage
Sjoe... I would take that with a bag of salt.
Previous comments suggested that its only for the last 50gb. So I think the question should be asked directly and a answer should be given directly about it.
I've seen people say they were throttled on the combined amount. So it's not 100% clear.
Agreed. I don't really trust it either.
Source for this?
Cause then I need to add my NZB Server again with a priority not over SSL so it could use up that cap 1st
JoS's tweet - she says "an extra 50GB for P2P"
