Nobody forced me to be on this ISP package. Im unemployed at the moment, so i'm only eating 1 meal a day in order to afford to buy the game. BT Option 1 is cheapest for me. Cant afford to add more cost to my phone bill.

Hmm, could be that I am wrong but my download via steam for the russian version was way less than that. Even though it states in yuplay that it is 13 GB or so, I think it was more like 4 or 6 GB. Cannot remember now.

I do see your point of view that when you install from a DVD then you shouldn't have to download the whole game. This obviously isn't a deliberate ploy though, it's just one of those things (the dev team are quite busy at the moment).

I know your original post is complaing about Ubi etc, but lets ignore that for a second and try to help you with your problem. Change your ISP, they are charging you too much and providing you with too little. I pay less than you and have unlimited downloads and have never had a problem connecting. Do some research and change.

I think also SimBin had the same issue with Race07 series. Buy the dvd and still download from Steam. I understand someones issues about this. I dont know the prices for flat, unlimited amount of up/downloads in U.K or anywhere but in Norway where I live.
I pay about £20 a month for 16MB down, and shitty upload, but I never upload or host much, sooo... Maybe it is expensive, but again. Norway is expensive.

If you can, change your ISP as you're being ripped off by them and that's not UBI's fault.

I take it you're in the UK? Well your ISP sucks. For sure. Change your ISP!

So how exactly does the money you pay BT end up in Ubi's pocket?

Shrike_UK · #7 03-29-2011, 01:35 PM

The costs dont end up in UBI's pocket, but due to the Epi debacle, the game was not release playable, so if i have to download the whole lot, then, whos fault is that?

Fact is, a game that shouldve been available on DVD is not really available on DVD anymore, and i cant change my ISP because i'm locked in a 1 year contract, i would have to pay to come out of it.

And its not my fault i havent got a job atm before im blamed for that too.
I just cant afford additional costs put on top of the price of the game.

Get in contact with BT and tell them you're not happy with the current contract you have with them. If you do nothing...you'll end up with nothing.

Absolutely right. If you are out of contract with them (i.e. last time you signed up to renew your package was more than 12 months ago, or possibly 18 months depending what you agreed) they'll bend over backwards to keep you. I got a brand new router and upgrade to my line/download speed from BT for free, just by asking. Also, I have gone over my 10GB limit a couple of times. They always send me a polite email telling me I've gone over my limit but explaining they are not going to charge for it.

I was thinking about asking them if i can use the £10 for 1 month of unlimited downloads, so at least i can then go mad and download everything like crazy rather than pay per GB. But it whether they will let me do that then go back again to option 1 after 1 month is up.
Unfortunateley im still locked into the contract

All in all tho, its a load of unneccesary hassle, and money wasted really. money i cant really afford at the moment.

I been waiting for 7 years for this game eagerly. Even tho im super skint after being out of work for a long time after this recession hit, im determined to get the game and go hungry to do so. Luckily as its my birthday in 24 days time, my parents are getting me a GTX460 WOW!!!

im so happy, its the best thing thats happened to me in an entire year to get IL2 and be able to play it. But hell, why oh why does there have to be so much extra cost and obstacles!.
