If ntl want to limit people's online activity, then quite simply 'all you can eat' style pricing will not work. And it will only get worse, with more and more broadband enabled content out there (including their own Broadband Plus) even lighter users download rates are going to increase still further, putting greater loads on the network for everyone.
This whole discussion about people downloading more than 1gb has gone on for months and months now and after a lot of thought the only sensible and fair (to both ntl and customer) pricing method will be pay for what you use.

This idea would make NTL greedier and take more out of the customers pockets to line the managers.
I feel it should be reviewed and the cap made more in line with the speed like I said above. then anything used over that charged at a set rate per gig like some satellite ISPs do.
The way you suggest making it vertually a PAYasUgo would make those who use little stay those who use approx the right gig and above to leave as they would never know what their bills would be. I certainly couldn't stay not knowing how much the next bill would be. This makes BT look 100% better prospect and another nail in NTLs coffin
