Moving Overseas
 

I am a Limewire user in New Zealand and connect through my NZ broadband connection. I am moving to the uk in 4 weeks. Will I still be able to use limewire through my new internet connection in the uk, or will I have to re-buy or re-register the program??? Any advice or help would be gratefully recieved.
Cheers

Limewire is international. Your limewire will work in the UK too. The only thing you have to worry about is which ISP to choose when you move there. i.e. find one that doesn't use traffic shaping or block Limewire

If there is one Please tell me, Ive been looking for one for 6 months,
Here's a letter I got from Tiscali.

Dear Customer,

This email contains important information regarding your broadband account.

Your broadband Internet usage has been highlighted as exceptionally high
during peak periods and is affecting the service that we provide to other
customers.

All of our users have the right to an acceptable quality of service, and
to ensure this Tiscali employs a Fair Use Policy
(http://www.tiscali.co.uk/fup). This gives Tiscali
the right to manage customers whose usage adversely affects our network
and the service of other customers. This is referred to in clause 8.4 of
the Terms and Conditions of our Broadband service (note clauses 5.9 in
the old Terms and Conditions if you registered before 2005) and
detailed in our Fair Use Policy (http://www.tiscali.co.uk/fup).

You may upload and download as you wish outside the peak hours;
however we ask that you are considerate when using the internet
during the peak period. Peak hours are from 6pm to 11pm Monday to
Sunday. To avoid any further heavy use warnings
we strongly recommend you adhere to the following guidelines:

o) Do not download large files during the peak periods

o) Do not use Peer-to-Peer file sharing software during peak
periods (e.g. Kazaa, BitTorrent)

o) Try and keep internet use to email and web browsing during these times.


If you do not reduce your usage during these peak times we
will manage your usage. This means that you will share
bandwidth with other heavy users during peak times instead of
sharing bandwidth with normal users. Your service will continue
to be unlimited, but by sharing bandwidth with other heavy users
you are likely to experience slower speeds during peak times.

If you have a query regarding this letter then you can
email broadbandservices@uk.tiscali.com

Well!... Bare this in mind when chooseing, Read the small print in any contract
Of any ISP provider Good Luck Wonders.

That is actually not so bad. 6pm to 11pm is only 5 hours out of 24

Many users have a lot worse terms and conditions

I don't live in the UK myself so don't know which service is the best there, but I will pass this on to someone who does later today :)

I've been using ukonline for the pass 6 months and have downloaded quite a lot (as I had to reformat my hard disk and didnt save any personal files!)
They've been quite good and so far, there is no download or time limit, the price at the moment is resonable too.
If you go for an ISP, go for one which offers an umlimited download rather than one which limits your download to say 2GB per month.

My download times are always during the peak hours too ( I have something called work!)

I just adapt and download mostly during the night :D

My deal is unlimited flatrate from 0-8am and 6 GB free other hours, but that's not in the UK. Uploads are unlimited though :)

Unlimited would cost me 110£ a month here and my bankaccount can't handle that

BTW passed the link to this post on so there might come some more suggestions at a later time

I moved from Virgin, when they started to use anti-P2P techniques, to Bulldog, who do not curb your P2P usage.

I also understand that NTL does not use anti-P2P measures also.

But, as with anything, always check first.



UK Bob

If you wish to keep your incompletes & continue them in UK, then save the "entire" incomplete folder onto a CD/DVD-RW. Then after you install LW in the UK, close LW. Then replace the new incomplete folder with the one you saved onto disk (must ONLY be done whilst LW is closed!!!) Then re-open LW. ;) :)

Bulldog thats been recomended to me before, they wasent using P2P though
my com's on for 19 hours a day , I kneed unlimeted badly n cheaply please
