Hmmmm,

AK, sorry about that mate, it would seem a British expression, rather than one of my own (I always thought it was American?). I believe that the full version is something like: "spitting your dummy and getting out of your pram"

Something along the lines of a small child throwing a temper tantrum?

Wouldn't writing a script that uncapped your modem be considered an Internet Accelerator?
Hmmm, with the old voiceline dial-up then that wouldn't be an issue, as the cap was a hardware limitation. A script wouldn't help.

Try mess with broadband and the capping is at the ISP. That would require criminal (felonious) activity on your part?
