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

If you close the cap you'll only end up with countless new posts by either new members or old ones wanting to raise new points (well new to them anyway). At least with these singular threads that encapsulate all things related, anyone who's not interested doesn't get bogged down with loads of boring threads getting in the way.

Most of the time everyone gets on fine, sometimes people get a bit heated, and if needed a mod steps in, it's been a very good thread in general.

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

I agree jtwn - this is a very important subject and I can't believe some people want this thread closed, particularly in light of the new information obtained today which seems to suggest there will be no hard capping on the upper two tiers. And on the subject of personal insults, surely nobody is daft enough to take anything said on an internet forum personally?

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

Compared to some forums i visit, this is mild in comparison, and moderated pretty generously.
As above, this thread would only be re-started [or ignited :)] somewhere else, and yes, it is important i think to see the thinking, and the whats and wherefores behind any cap.
Of course it gets heated at times, but a small tap on the shoulder by a mod is usually sufficient. ;)

I'm sorry but your well out of order for that comment. We have not banned the right to discuss the caps have we? We feel like doing so because of the constant petty bickering, same old arguements but this thread is still open isn't it?

Also, I am not, nor is any of the other team members, on a par with a group of individuals responsible for mass murder. Believe it or not but we run this site so please also do not suggest to us, to keep out of threads if we don't like something we see.

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

The way the team moderate this site is superb. It's among the best I've seen, and that's why it's become such well-known and massively popular and respected site in its field.

You only have to look at the 'competition' to see that.

Edit: Apart from that stupid 'post merge' thing anyway! :erm:

bang out of order my friend , bang out of order ;)

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

Don't flatter yourself, if you honestly think that anyone in control at ntl cares what a handful of people on a forum say about this you are delusional.

I have a pretty good idea of the reasons for this and they are in no way related to this bbs.

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

You're wasting your breath Ig. I have spent much of the last week telling people that a couple of hundred forum members don't influence policy decisions for over a million customers, but I am weeing into the prevailing.

right this makes thr third thread I've unsubscribed from tonight. :rolleyes:

bye!

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

What do you think the reasons behind it are Ignition? Is it definite that there's been a change in ntl's thinking?

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

It was an analogy, not to do with being against ntl. I am one of the people that feels that petitions, anticap sites, ant-x,y or z sites would never infuence a major company in its decision. Just trying to raise spirits :shrug:

About the moderation, ok, nazis was the wrong word. I totally agree with this is your site and you can moderate and operate it how you want, but in the community's interest is censorship of a major topic what they really want?

At the end of the day, the people who come here make this place just as much as you made it.

But as said, its at your discretion :shrug: Didn't mean to offend anybody.

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

A lot of people were saying it would be cap free 'for now', then introduce caps later in the year. I think the low tier situation had to be sorted out now though, because of the two choices, and that would explain why they are the only service being capped.

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

I read it as

Hard Cap "coming soon"

and

No change as in no hard cap even later in the year.

I know things can change but thats where we appear to be at for the foreseeable........... untill the next free upgrades:D

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

Yes that's exactly how I see it too purenuman - there is to be no hard cap on the new 2/3Mb services.

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

Since the mods warned the 2 guys who made very valid points against ian@huth care to warn the guys who mock me about british gas? Oh wait, I dont work for ntl and dont own shares so maybe I dont qualify.

It is clear now most isp's imposing caps are having a time of day exclusion, the average user does not browse at 3am and will be unaffected by early morning downloading so what is ntl's reason for not having a exclusion time

It is not done to death because so many questions unanswered
