I think 5 gig for the 1mb service is a must and much more sensible, especially with the increase in file sizes going on currently (Game Demo's - On demand video - NTL's own 'Broadband Plus' - the BBC's P2P plans etc).

For Example:
I pay £34.99 for the 1mb broadband with the 1 gig limit.
I want to watch an old episode of Steptoe & Son for instance from the BBC's proposed free (license fee funded) P2P service - thats half an hour of video streaming so probably about 400-500 meg maybe more depending on compression - I then want to watch the BBC's news - say another 5 - 10 mins so about 100 meg.
I then want to use NTL's own 'Broadband Plus' to watch some pop videos - so another 1-200meg gone.

So far thats about an hour and a half of perfectly reasonable broadband usage and over half of my 'allowance' gone, I then have a quick web browse, and see an update for one of my games - its 200 meg - damn I can't get it today (or tomorrow probably, unless I don't watch the BBC) as I'm afraid I'll go over my limit.

Tiered caps are a must, its quite frankly astounding that the 150k and 1mb services have the same low cap.

Personally I think that to pay for extra gigs would be a pain and probably cause more problems than it would solve, just setting sensible download limits would make things run smoothly I think for 99% of customers.

Just my thoughts...
