What you think, good idea? or am i pushing my luck?

Pushing your luck, plus the 10mb isnt what it used to be for many people who are on it... me included! have been getting 4mb for the past week or so! but the other day I managed 6.5mb WOW!... there's a few members on here that have already moved down to the 2mb unlimited because it seems to be more reliable and you can download as much as you like when you like...

I moved down to the 2meg it isnt any more reliable and I still struggle to top 1meg burst but it stops me paying for 10x what I recieve.

I think the limit will be stricter now to be honest.

The limits will be strict when the relevant technology is introduced (current eta is later in the year).

As long as they stay off the 1MB. ;)

I've just had my NTL bill and it now says on it "1mb Unlimited".
Does that mean the cap has now been lifted for good ?

If my 2mb connection is truely 'unlimited' then why when do I consistently get disconnected after downloading about 1.5gb of data? I have to restart the modem as I usually get cut-off during the night if I leave my pc on.

Re: *All* ntl Cap Discussion (part 4)
 
well that sounds more like a fault rather than NTL cutting you off when you hit 1.5gb

that's because the 3 for £33 deal includes 1meg broadband. 1meg broadband is now unlimited. hence, no cap on 3 for £33 ;)

I know this question has been asked a fair few times, but what are the likely Over-Limits before a customer would recieve a warning, or put on the naughty tier.

Because an :angel: like me occasionally goes just a few gig over. Is it likely I would be bent over for this???
