Among the national names for internet connections (Netia, Dialog, TP, Multimedia, UPC, Korbank) are all landline (fixed line) internet services without data limits for home computer use? In the UK, most internet subscriber plans have a limit - they are either "fair use" after which the connection is "traffic shaped" to a slow speed if over that "fair use" or they are actually limited to a GB quota per month. There are some "all you can eat" UK unlimited plans too, but they tend to be expensive (or were last time I checked).
Which of the national internet services here in Poland offer internet without limit or bez limitu? And what is the name of the package (pakiet) ?
Reason is I have been watching streamed standard def video and want to know if I can feel free to watch it more often without worrying.
(I know there are limits on mobile phone internet, this is just about home broadband internet)
as far as I know most of landline internet connections in Poland don't have a data transfer limit - the only factor that limits you is the speed of the connection
I agree. It's so in Poland exactly from the beginning of 2007.
Until 2006 the only landline Internet operator which was accessible practically everywhere in Poland was the Polish Telecom (which is in fact a division of France Telecom, now it has merged with its subsidiary and is called Orange Polska) with their Neostrada - since they were (and still are) the owner of the telephone network in the whole country. Then the government made them share their infrastructure with other operators, in order to introduce some competition into the monopolized market. At the same time there were some changes in the law that made changes in the regulations of each Internet provider necessary - and that time the law allowed every client terminate the contract with the provider in such a situation without any consequences (now it's different, you can terminate the contract without consequences only if the changes in the provider's regulations doesn't result from changes of the national law, otherwise you have to pay a lot of money extra as a sort of penalty for early contract termination). To encourage people to come to them, the new market players didn't introduce transfer limits, and to stop the massive escape of the clients, the Polish Telecom also had to remove limits.
In case of mobile connections the limits have to exist due to technical issues. Some of them have now offers such as "no limit", "unlimited" etc., but there are in fact some limits (although high and with a very high bandwidth limitation after exceeding the limit, instead of charging extra money) included in the contract.
Maybe somebody will be interested. Currently the cheapest landline on telephone cable for people who don't need telephone landline for making calls is: dropss.pl/oferta It costs 50zł or 60zł (depending on connection type) per month for 20Mbits/s. Precondition is that one must have active telephone line at home.
