I personally think it's because they need a means to throw people off the service if their useage is excessive, but they don't want to throw off someone who exceeds it just a few times.

But then, I am not their spokesman, so I'm not sure.

Why carry on moaning if you're so convinced NTL is so bad and ADSL so good? Move along to ADSL and you will forever have that perfect unlimited service. :rolleyes: The same few posters who keep on posting the same thoughts time after time, day after day, make many readers wonder why they are still on here and it tells them that very few people are complaining.

I don't think any of you have much to worry about, I can't see NTL doing to much to stray from the formula, if anything they atleast want to be on a par with Blueyonder, let alone UK Online will be expanding alot in the coming year.

I am seriously annoyed with NTLs customer service though, its got the point now that there is no point ringing them because anything you agree on either never gets done, forgotten about or you have to ring repeatedly to get one simple problem solved. I do understand most of that is down to system changes and updates in recent months, all gearing towards taking the company forward, so i'm willing to let it go for the time being.... but if the caps are stringent, simple as I will take my business elsewhere, no point getting worked up about it.

Am I Off topic??
I check this thread every couple of days to see if there is any real(!!) news of when I will get the FREE upgrade from 750 k to 1.5 mb and all I ever seem to read is moans and whinges about the cap and how this will force people to move to BT etc. Boring.......
So, are there any firm dates and details around yet?

It's probably much better to also keep your eye in our main home page, where we will post updated information as and when we get it. So far, 14th March is when the new speeds have been said to be rolled out. Which is incidently - a week on Monday.

More information is in our last news item:-

no real news of late - I think it's a case of an announcement will be within the next couple of weeks. I dont think they can leave it much longer to start an official campaign as a lot of the competitors (e.g. Nildram today) have already made announcements.

And before everyone starts discussing that, & taking this thread (even more) off topic, we already have a Nildram Cap discussion running here: http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...063#post413063 :)
