Is that an admission that people who use an internet conection of speed for the ONLY things that need that speed are not wanted? ;)

Seriously though, I don't understand why NTL don't just offer a 300k (or 512 if they wanted to be generous) unlimited option for a sensible price, the amount would be seriously hampered by the speed of the connection and I would rather have the stuff slower and not have to keep my eye on the clock (or usage) than get it quickly and have to make sure I don't go over a set limit arbitrarily imposed by my ISP.

Many of the new high bandwidth uses for the internet will require a stable connection speed for that one application which can be problematic in multi system homes and on networks that are getting saturated at peak times.

1Gb a day may not be enough for a home network with 3 experienced users. There should be an option that offers users an enhanced service to cater for this at something like 3 times the price.

3 times the price, what are you on.

hehehe he lives in a fantasy world......where 2mb is fine for everyone and no one would possibly need more than 640k.

Do you honestly believe 3x price is realistic? If that's a realistic price 1mbit customers with 3gb cap should be paying closer to £5 a month. I know from your earlier posts you dislike subsidising anyone that uses more bandwidth than you, but what about all the poor 1mbit customers? They're subsidising something at that price.

Kinda of a silly argument and position for you to take when a few of your posts ago you were complaining about P2P speeds though innit:

Why not, most things in life if you want 2 you pay double and treble if you want 3. Some people want more than their fair share of the cake but are not prepared to pay for it. Can you give a justifiable reason why a 3 user household should just pay the same as a single user household?

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

Who said anything about all 3 users needing 100% of the bandwidth all the time? A 2 hour film of acceptable quality (about 1gb) could easily be streamed over a 2mbit connection. With enough left over for others to browse on other PCs.

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

But that's the point - is it need, or just plain want? Why listen to the radio on line when you have a perfectly good stereo in the house. Why watch a movie online when you can watch it on DVD on a tv screen?

For a residential service, no one NEEDS 8meg. No one NEEDS unlimited gigs. But if they want it, yes they should pay for it. At this moment in time, ntl do not offer that kind of service. So, you can either pull your hair out about ntls service, or find a supplier that suits your needs and pay the relative price. :shrug:

I just don't get the people on this forum, who give a toss wether he uses P2P so do the majority of people otherwise apps like kazza etc wouldnt have 70 million downloads...come on peeps keep it real.

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

Because it's well within the AUP to do so? 3 users could easily use less than 1 heavy user.

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

Not at all, I never said I didn't use p2p networks as it would have been a lie. OB asked for legit examples of high bandwidth usage, I provided them.

I do not have to justify MY internet useage to anyone, unless NTL contact me IF I go over the cap.

I disagree with the cap and, when and if NTL get in touch I will leave, if NTL make more money because of that, then fair play to them, if not and they lose money then good.

Why use a telephone when we have a perfectly good postal service?

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

yeah no one needs 8mb thats why the next version of 3g telephony does speeds upwards of 14mbit hehehehe orangebird you just got electricity where you are then or what ?

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

That's a silly example. Telephone is immediate. Post is two days.

Switching my radio on is no slower than logging on to the radio via the internet and using up gigs that way..... :
