Re: [Merged] *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please
 

hi, im new to this board but basically if ntl cap the cable im off. i thought yeah great a 3mb connection and then saw the cap limit. No thankyou ntl dont call me ill call you. Yes we all download stuff off the net and use kazaa, ftp, and mirc etcor whatever p2p u use and those caps are ridiculous.
i think a lot of people will leave ntl as im now considering going back to bt and getting broadband off any numerous provider out there and get no cap, plus the prices are very good too. I personally think ntl are on to a loser here with capping. Your thoughts would be appreciated.
regards
dan

hi all im new to this forum, i think i put my post in the wrong one anyway here i go again. If ntl cap there cable on 2 or 3 meg im off. There is no way i am gonna put up with a cap, yes we all download off kazaa, mirc, bit torrent or ftp or whatever p2p service you use. To me its freedom of choice and i will be moving back to bt and get the same service with no cap at a good price.There are so many broadband companies fighting for your money now its a consumers choice. So ntl dont call me ill call u. I can see them losing loads of customers over the next few months oh well only got themselves to blame.

Re: [Merged] *ALL* ntl Cap Discussion In Here Please.
 

On reflection, i dont really think that the majority of users (and i was one) can really complain at NTL's caps, if you legitimately use a lot of bandwidth fair enough. But to complain at being capped and not being allowed to use p2p, mirc, usenet or whatever to download stuff which is on the whole illegal anyway is a bit rich. Eventually IMO all isp's will introduce caps, I wont stay on NTL after the cap comes in not because of the cap but simply because of the really appaling service i have received from some and i do emphasise some of NTL's CS and by the time the cap comes in i will have my BT Line

Re: [Merged] *ALL* ntl Cap Discussion In Here Please.
 

I left BT when they announced that they were going to reduce the soft cap of 30mb to a metered cap of 15mb, at least with NTL I will have had 2 speed increases and the cap raised 10mb so even when they bring in metering I will still be far better off than I was.

I like NTL but that doesnââ‚ƚ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t mean I wonââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢t be off like a shot if the accelerate salesman knocks one day. {dreams of 3mb upstream zzzzzzzz}

I wished they did something like this.

plusnet asking customers on what they think of capping.

will you leave if a hard cap is implemented?
 

Hi, I know there is a single thread for cap talk but I wanted to do a poll.

I will probably leave ntl for ADSL if they implement a hard cap.

I want an uncapped service. I could stay on the 750 speed uncapped but the deals on uncapped adsl are much sweeter.

Will you leave if they implement a hard cap?

Re: will you leave if a hard cap is implemented?
 

Now this should be a interesting poll :)

Oh and hands up i voted no as it will not affect me.

Re: will you leave if a hard cap is implemented?
 

any one know how to find out if you will hit the caps ???

Re: will you leave if a hard cap is implemented?
 

Only if everyone can be a*sed to vote.The idea of going back to BT!!!I like my Cable phone I've never had any trouble with it.I live on the windiest part of the South Coast so why would I go back to BT with increased disconnections?That was why I left them in the first place.

The internet is a secondary issue for me. :)

Re: will you leave if a hard cap is implemented?
 

Best to ask that in the cap thread. Leave this just for the poll.

I voted no is I will never get near my tiers cap.

Re: will you leave if a hard cap is implemented?
 

Depends on how low the cap is. If it's anything like what the presentations say, then 'yes' I'm all ready to switch to ADSL.

Re: will you leave if a hard cap is implemented?
 

Bah, I should have asked for the 'blessed' not to vote ;)

I take it certain employees get certain privileges?

Fair play to you!

Re: will you leave if a hard cap is implemented?
 

I voted no too, as I've been monitoring my usage the last 20 days with TrafficStatistic, and I've only used 1.3gb (and that was including doing a massive Windows update on my daughter in laws laptop last night).

So I'll be well within the 30gb limit (which is the same as it is now 1gb per day). If I was going to be capped at 5gb then it might be a different story, as some months I may get near it.

If it's only going to affect the big downloaders (more often than not illegal stuff), then fair enough, it will free up the network for 'normal' users so should be a good thing. I'd hate to live in the same street as a few big downloaders, it's bound to effect your connection.

I more had an issue with the £25 upgrade fee, but that seems like it'll be waived now (going by the other thread). The upload speed could also do with being a bit faster too, especially with them pushing online gaming nowadays.

You'd have to go some to use 30gb a month as a normal user, it's more the speed which things happen that's useful (not having to wait for pages to load, updates to download etc). :)

Re: will you leave if a hard cap is implemented?
 

Employees ?

I am not, and never have been, employed by ntl.

Re: will you leave if a hard cap is implemented?
 

I ran a network meter for a month, which I hoped would give a typical average of my monthly usage. I'm not a power user, but I do a number of things including streaming radio, online gaming and connecting to my office for a few whole days a week.

My total Upload/Downlaof was 3.6Gigs for the month of January. This included downloading patches for my games, a few software upgrades, loads of email (lots of which was spam) and general Internet surfing.

If ntl go true to form and finally decide to instigate their proposed use limits for each of the three speed types, I could easily downgrade to the £17.99 package, which will be one gig, and be inside the use limit.

Thanks ntl, you may actually save me money :tu:
