Justanothernoob,

I could not care if ntl set limits to 500mb a day, or even 100mb a day.
Nor would I be excited if they allowed 20gig a day.

It's the whole thing, Nildram do 150gig a month limits, so what users are they aiming at.
Ntl offering 30gig a month .. I can see which is the most atractive, on the "monthly limts" alone.

I do not care if 5gig a day needs 1:1 or 100000:1 .. that is not my problem, thats the ISP's, not the customers.

What about P2P ?.. it's not impossable to acheive the limits with such software, Usenet too, again, easily done.

The average user is what ?.. I can't think of an average user, as their demands changes daily (talking to people in the pup for one, mentions something, the "average user" goes home to try it), no longer a average user.. but an abuser.

Even using webcam takes up bandwidth, and you can't say people not use it for hours on end, because how would we know?.. we don't.

I stream radio all day, every day, unless i'm watching a movie or listening to other music. Might not be high rate of bandwith 12-20k/sec maybe, but ontop of other activities, at all adds up.

What goes on in peoples own home, we never know about, so we can't say what the demands are for the single/couple/family needs are.
