Yes I have noticed this, and so it appears that ntl themselves are not following their own guidelines.
I think that if ntl were to set sensible limits, such as 100GB download a month, then there would many less problems. At the moment we have 1GB/day for 3 or more days in a 14 day period. How stupid does that sound? If they are going to have such a limit then they should define it in a
clear way. i.e. 30GB/month.
IMHO, the problem is that ntl are not following their own guidelines, and are only sending letters to massive abusers of the service. They then report this on these forums, and
everyone else starts worrying about going over 1GB/day for 3 or more days in a 14 day period, when this
isn't what ntl
are enforcing.
The first step to sort this ridiculous situation out would be to
clearly define acceptable use at a reasonable level (imho different on each service level). Then they could enforce this and it would be clear what the limit was.
Only a stupid compnay would enforce a different limit than that in their guidelines, because surely they must realise that publicising a 1GB/day for 3 or more days in a 14 day period limit is only annoying their customers, not discouraging them from using, e.g. up to 100GB.
Madness.
