Re: Unlimited downloads from January?
 
I'd imagine they'll be pretty lenient on 10mbit users, as long as they don't take the **** too much

I think they will just make them go to 1 or 2 meg if they do take the ****.

It appears that there could be 4 tiers available from looking at the 4 index pages and their links:

512k @ £14.99 with a 1 Gb per month usage allowance.
up to 1 Mb @ £17.99 unlimited
up to 2 Mb @ £24.99 unlimited
up to 10 Mb with a 75 Gb per month usage allowance

I've said all along I'd be happy with uncapped 2mbit. Maybe someone at NTL does listen :p

I have to admit after having 10mbit for a month there is a lot of fun to be had out there with it, but in reality I just have no need for it. I'm sure that will change once HD is a bit more widespread though.

Re: Unlimited downloads from January?
 
With them offering 2mb for 24.99, does that not open the way for 3mb @ 34/7.99? Or is it just the basic fact that the network (or any network for that matter) can't handle 3mb unlimited?

that is not fair....i was leeching 24 hours/day @ 3 Mbit and now they want us to do the same @ lower speed......2 Mbit is something from the past....

Here is the full e-mail. I got it and I am on 1MB temporarily from 300kb.
I have opted out of the 1MB 3gb cap upgrade.
