Has anyone actualy been dis'ed for over use?. Hardly anyone has even got a letter!. This whole cap thing has been blown out of proportion. It is there to stop the really heavy users. This thread was started by someone claiming to download 10gig a day! Lets be serious, its bit OTT. To down load 10gig a day is taking the p1ss. The average user won't get even near that. I download martial arts related films, competitions and other mpegs, and yeah sometimes I break the 1gig barrier (2.85g is the mostin one day). That may go on for 2-3 days then back down to whatever Quake, surfing and mail uses up.I haven't got a letter, so I can only pressume that the people that have are really pushing the limits. It is also, more than likely to be pirated films or software which ntl can't be seen to condone.
