Re: *ALL* ntl Cap Discussion Here Please.
 

My first post and a honest one.
It seems some members here seem to think that what other members download and how much has something to do with you?
What the hell has somebody elses downloads or online activities got to do with you?
Mind your own business and get a life.
BB has always been advertised as 24/7 until now when some companies see making money by charging for the extra gb downloaded do they change the rules.
I left another isp for talking rubbish and would do again if anybody told me what i could and could not do.
If i pay for 3mb service i expect it at 3mb 24/7 if some of you dont use it 24/7 then bad luck your paying for it.
I have 3 pc's connected through a router and 1 gig a day is a joke if enforced.
The only thing the cap is for is to charge for the extra gb of downloads to make easy money for the isp's

Hmmm, interesting first post. I suggest you keep the rest of your posts a little more civil please. :)

Re: *ALL* ntl Cap Discussion Here Please.
 

If someones activities are impacting on my services which i pay for then i expect NTL to do something about it. I do 100% agree with you that the cap is a joke at 1gig for a 3mb connection but by the same token so is the way some people go at there connections. Like it or not some users they may be in the minority do have an impact on other users thats just the way it is. Maybe just maybe if it wasnt for the bandwidth hogging minority there would be no need for caps. I pay for my bandwidth the same as everyone else does and i do resent people who just dont know when enough is enough and have a detrimental effect on my internet experience. It boils down to cause and effect IMO Power hungry users caused it and the effect is capping, take it or leave it. And before the knives come out again people have no right to download copyrighted and illegal materials period, and the sooner this cap is in effect the better IMO. You can alll start stabbing now :p: :p: :p: :p: :p:

Is it worth dignifying that drivel with any kind of a response? I think all of that has been covered many times in the past.

Re: *ALL* ntl Cap Discussion Here Please.
 

Just because some people download alot does not mean it's illegal or copyrighed materials.
I have 3 pc's for the family i run a game server need to upload download quite a bit and the rest of the family use it for work, college and online gaming also
Now a 1 gig limit is just to small enforced or not, it still would limit me for doing nothing wrong as with many other bb users.

Too small for you and some others. Perfectly acceptable to other users though.

Ntl aren't holding a gun to your head and forcing you to take the service. A number of providers are now capping their services and as broadband moves more towards being a utility I can see more and more companies doing this.

Drivel? have you read your own post's? i would use drivel in CAPITAL letters for yours

Cold under the bridge is it :rofl:

Re: *ALL* ntl Cap Discussion Here Please.
 

Have you read your own name?

Re: *ALL* ntl Cap Discussion Here Please.
 

chill guys this thread is going :notopic: and getting personal.

I sympathise with others I have 3 pcs connected and late teens using two of them. I also have an online college course which uses bandwidth but name calling, being abusive or threatening will not make NTL change their minds.

You have a choice you either like the cap or willing to put up with the cap, if not then call NTL and cancel then move on, it as simple as that.

Great, so you can use the caps lock, here have a dinosaur. :dozey:

Re: *ALL* ntl Cap Discussion Here Please.
 

Enough of the personal stuff - play nice and stick to the topic please people.

Re: *ALL* ntl Cap Discussion Here Please.
 

WHAT others download has nothing to do with me. HOW MUCH others download has a lot to do with me if it affects MY service. If you are paying for a capped 24/7 3MB service, then expect it to be 3MB 24/7 AND capped.

Re: *ALL* ntl Cap Discussion Here Please.
 

How does it affect your service lets have the facts here please?
Show proof how much you were affected if you were at all?
What has others downloading stopped you doing?
Now you you might get a isp giving you a poor excuse its down to others but they are talking rubbish.
