3 The content does make a differance, everyone knows, people downloading that amount of data are downloading pirated software and films. NTL can not be seen to condone it.

1 gig a day may be enough to run a small business, but it can still be easily used up, streaming, full software packages, beta testing software, email, web browsing , game demos, software demos, backing up data, mp3s and movies
before you start of on me on the piracy issue, just remember 2 things, don't label people please just because you dont use much traffic it means to use more cant be right, right? There are places now where you can download movies legally and in the future this will become much more popular, the future is content and big downloads, the future is higher bitrate streams, the future is online content live with it. Also the competition seems to be disagreeing with ntl.
Adsl - 2mbit to homes
BY - 2mbit to homes
NTL - 1mbit to homes with 1 gig/day cap
hmmm let me think about this, are ntl thinking of the future or are they thinking of now.
the truth is womble it is possible to run an isp without stupid limits, otherwise 90% of the ADSL market would have gone bust.
