Re: *ALL* ntl Cap Discussion Here Please.
 

I'm very pleased with NTL. Its a good service at a good price. Wanadoo have a bit of catching up to do - they only offer 1Mb at the minute and after tasting 2Mb for the last week I wouldn't want that now.

I totally agree with flux, I dont give a crap anymore, I'm just going to download what I want, and i'll wait and see what those *******s have to say. No-one else in my area has the boradband service anyway!

Re: *ALL* ntl Cap Discussion Here Please.
 

The only thing i can't see clearly, is what action they will actually take. Not getting at you btw, it just says they will write to people asking them to adjust their habits. So assume someone does'nt?
Then what? Is it a speed restriction? A bad boy pipe? Or do you just get booted off?
I have read the new t+c, its just not ultra specific.

Re: *ALL* ntl Cap Discussion Here Please.
 

Then I hope you get chucked off.

Can you not see it's people like you who cause caps to be brought in in the first place? Then you stand around whining about it, clearly oblivious to the fact that it's entirely your own fault.

Re: *ALL* ntl Cap Discussion Here Please.
 

The email service is a real classic.
It's worth the subscription fee on it's own.
Another winner from NTL.
Personally, I think the subscription fee is far too low;
with the excellent service that NTL provide,
it should be at least 500 pounds!
I would willingly sell my house and all its contents to help NTL!

:tu: :tu: :tu: I just posted this in another thread didnt see this one (my bad) I was strictly anti capping, but since NTL upgrade the speeds my experience and attitude have changed immensely, I enjoy online gaming especially 1 particular US server. This has now become a joke due to the Ping being through the roof, I cannot beleive this is not tied into the speed upgrades and people insisting on downloading the entire internet by tea time. My ping was always stable untill the upgrades. This has made me realise that Capping should be brought in and bloody soon. If my internet and gaming experience is lowered because people are hammering ther connections then why should i pay the same as the next person when i cannot use it the same way as i used to. So i appologise if i offended anyone in previous threads over my anti cap stance and also if this is a duplicate in another thread. if enforcing the cap means that i get what i amn paying for then the sooner the better. :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu:

Re: *ALL* ntl Cap Discussion Here Please.
 

i agree that there should be a cap as people could use it excessivly, but i think having a 1Gb cap on a 3MB line is a bit daft, as you can get that gig done easily with that speed.

its the same cap on the 2MB line too which i thinks a bit daft

Re: *ALL* ntl Cap Discussion Here Please.
 

Can i just point out that once your "ping" leaves the NTL network [and to the USA its going to have to ;)] its not their responsibilty.
Same as any other isp, if its on their network, and its bad, then yes something might be impacting on it.
A faster connection has never often meant a better, or a more stable ping on most isps.

Re: *ALL* ntl Cap Discussion Here Please.
 

Agreed i have had this problem before long time ago and it was oversubscription, NTL sorted that one out and hopefully this will be the same. And to the other poster i do agree 1 gig cap is a bit on the short side for a 3mb connection and it should be more reasonable, But if they were to make it 10 gig a day someone would still complain it was not enough. What in gods name people find to download is beyond me, when i say download i mean what is legally available for download. There are only a certain amount of linux isos to go through and game demos, how many of them come out every day.;) ;) ;) ;)

But is your house worth 500 pounds??:dozey:

Re: *ALL* ntl Cap Discussion Here Please.
 

Well monitoring my downloads on netmeter at the moment to see where I'll be in regards to the upgrade from 300k and it predicts that in the next month I could be over 3GB.Now id I'm getting to that on 300k what will happen if I do decide to upgrade?And no I don't download hundreds of films just software for my art software...

I suspect that I will have to see what happens over two months before deciding...

Re: *ALL* ntl Cap Discussion Here Please.
 

I can bet you will be one of many, i'm not in favour of any cap, however the ones in place are at the least , damn stingy, and a greater allowance could have avoided all the present [and up and coming] resentment .
And if you read this thread through, it seems no amount of common sense would make those in charge of ntl, review this ludicrous situation or alter it.

Re: *ALL* ntl Cap Discussion Here Please.
 

Actually my house value has tripled in the last 3 years and I paid cash for it in the first place. LOL - no mortgage - what about you?

Re: *ALL* ntl Cap Discussion Here Please.
 

Big Issue anyone :bigcry:

Re: *ALL* ntl Cap Discussion Here Please.
 

Of course now that it's tripled it's definately worth more than £500 if you dont count depreciation and the cost of a new calor gas bottle. Oh and I'll have to repair the awning and pay ground rent to the caravan park owners - LOL only joking.
