Never knew that MI5.

Last time I went over my limit MI5, I had my speeds slowed down to a snails pace. Seems a bit drastic though cutting customers off.

It's a recent change that we have been alerted to by someone who got a landing page informing them to top up or wait until next month to get more data !!!
