You are now starting to talk about of paying per meg of download. Going that way is unlikely to do anything at all to help with peak congestion. Some ISPs go half way by having a restricted usage package, that might be more suitable for those complaining that others use the service more than them. As long I can do my small usage, then I'm no complaining.
What ntl just can not get into their heads, no matter how much we have tried, is that it is not logical to cap the non-peak (normal sleeping hours) in the same way as the peak daytime hours.
Those normal sleeping hours are the most off-peak, and least disruptive usage of other users pleasure, that there could be.
Ntl can not see the logic of freeing those hours of any cap, and encouraging users to do their heavy downloads during those hours. Trying to get any logic through to ntl, is like talking to a brick wall. Logic is just not ntl's strong point.
Bulldog, I believe, have or did have some kind of different allowable usage in off-peak times. Perhaps they are just more enlightened.
<a justified rant> no appologies
