I am entitled to my opinion as you are yours.

If you're a serious internet and/or computer user you won't even acknowledge the existence of AOL, since their disgusting software is as good as having a virus on your machine if you ever want to use another provider.

There are other reasons too.

I, personally, speak my mind now and voice my own opinion. Some people don't like that because I dare to disagree with them. That's tough on them.

If they impose hard cap of 30G, I am off to ADSL companies. There are plenty of them who offer 1Mbps down and unlimited traffic.
I would prefer to have 512Mbps unlimited than 2Mbps/30G, for the same money.
For me time of caps is over after I left dial-up. no more worries about traffic and how much I can use my internet.
One month I can download 20G another month it could be 50, I do not want to worry about it. I must admit, that NTL is very polite about it at the moment and they never reminded me about 1G per day limit. As long as it stays this way, I am with NTL, because I like the company and I don't want BT beat the NTL, yet if they enforce 1g per day or 30g per month, I am off. Today they truncated news server as well, you cannot download anything from there anymore, so NTL has turned to be very unfriendly binary group provider. One more reason to leave them if they become mean to us.

Ok, I'm no fan of AOL, but you don'y need there software on your machine any more if you're using a router, they've finally allowed home networking (as of AOL 9)! Personally I shall be sticking with NTL until April, see how the speed upgrade goes then if I'm not happy I'll switch to UKOnlines 8 ish Meg service.

:rolleyes:

Take some time to read through Scrotnigs other posts. He's damn helpful, non-judgemental, speaks honestly and you really could've had worse. Like a reply from me.

but i made one post and got an arrogant response with no help at all maybe he/she is helpful but i did nothing wrong but make a point about value for money was what i said incorrect ?? simple answer no irrelevant of someones feelings towards aol there are others offering 2 meg uncapped for £29.99 my point is a fair one why am i paying £37.99 for less speed

sorry nemesis i was already typing i wont bother anymore

I just speak my mind, nothing more. I don't mean to offend individuals and that's not my intention. I apologise if anyone's taken something I said the wrong way.

Bye

I'm sure ntl would much rather not have people who are taking more than their fair share. To lose a few abusers would make the network a far nicer place for the rest of us. You won't be missed.

Sorry, but its the truth, and if you think the grass is greener on the other side, then you'll just end up forcing your next ISP into caps with your abuse.

on ntl:hell and ntl employee has posted http://forums.ntlhell.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=7280

this is exactly the same as on this forum but the caps are
1M - 3G/month
2M - 1G/day
3M - 1G/day

can anyone confirm this
i would rather have the 30gb because then at least if one day i download more than 1gb and other days i do nothing :(

tbh its all about profits, cut this cap that...

I could live with a cap but 40Gbit is way to low. Ill probly be off to adsl as well i nice isp like ukonline :angel:.

Nemesis 21-02-2005 15:34

Re: *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please (Part 2)
 
My view is that most if not all UK Broadband providers will eventually submit to using caps to control the usage.

ntl are no different to those that already hace caps, be that soft or hard, BT do, plusnet, etc etc.

The "carrot" is to advertise a Cap free service ..... and then in the not too distant future Cap it ..... you see ....:D

Re: *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please (Part 2)
 
i personally think that if they want to introduce a capped service they should have another service which is uncapped. for example for 2mb £24.99 30gb cap
but for 2mb unlimited £30.00 or something.. (cheaper preferably because then theres no competition between other providers such as ukonline and lots of others who are providing unlimited 2mb for £29.99. .
