Well, let me give a summary after 30 hours of DL+
I would agree with Detritus that browsing and streaming for me was at my usual speeds of the last few months - the problem was my downloads (the purpose of DL+).
On a 4 meg line I should be able to download 1.5 odd gigs per hour; so 45 gigs for that period, all going well. I scheduled 34 gigs thinking that even with some slower periods it should all be fine. Well, I managed 23.4 gigs according to Grabit, so way short of what I had hoped for, and just over 50% of the potential capacity.
I do think that for a premium ISP, these figures are nothing to be proud off. I do hope WA is not looking at mass uncapped because it would be a disaster to all users based on this trial they had.
WA - I do appreciate the extra time you gave us for DL+, but I really do think things went wrong in a big way and do hope that you will be giving us feedback and also making changes needed so your systems can cope.

At the moment we're looking into what the network was doing yesterday and will have an update for you asap.
