be perfect for me, just leave pc on 24/7 now and save £20 a month, newsgroups with 25day or higher retentions are wonderfull

Sounds like a pretty good deal. Let us know the upload speed when you get it.

Congratulations to NTL for FINALLY doing something they should have done when they introduced the caps a couple of years ago :)

Next they'll be offering a means to monitor your usage!

Very interesting, and definitely a step in the right direction.
But i wonder, if they are charging 17.99 for 512k unlimited, i wonder if they'll introduce a higher speed with unlimited useage for a higher price? Possibly 2mb/3mb for 37.99?

They're going to lose a bit of revenue if all the heavy users are just put on a slower speed and charged less. I was expecting them to keep charging the 3mb users the 37.99 and lower their speed to whatever it was going to be.

Not sure what NTL are thinking with this. You download too much, so we give you an uncapped service and take £20 per month less off you??? Baffling.

Sounds very uncompetative if they do. Uncapped 2mbit from UK Online for £25, uncapped ADSL2+ @ upto 24mbit for £24, etc.

17.99 for 512k is hardly competitive either. I don't think they're too bothered about that. Personally i'd pay 37.99 a month for unlimited 2/3mb. It would save me the hassle of moving to BT phone, and finding an ADSL service.

Yeah, it's not great, I left NTL when I got a letter, but I was worried that their offer for heavy users would leave me regretting leaving them.

It hasn't :)

I'm currently on adsl and looking to move to Cable, with NTL the only one available and would easily prefer a 2/3meg unlimited compared to a 10meg (75gig cap).

I really do hope NTL give other unlimited options.

Re: *ALL* ntl Cap Discussion (Part 3)
 
all i got to say, as long as the people who are being downgraded to 512k for heavy downloading are able to upgrade to the 10meg 75gigs connection without being told sorry but you was put on 512k for a reason then i'll be happy, because not all people who are being downgraded have downloaded more than what the new 10meg 75gig cap will be offering when it comes out which is really bizarre on NTL's part:td:
