I remember another ISP doing that and the limit was quite high perhaps 60gig a month makes you have to move over to business. This could be put into the AUP if this makes it easier than charging a fee per gig over the limit..
But to be fair daily use changes it is flexible.. NTL are not being flexible with a daily cap a monthly one is fairer.

I'd concur. We also have to remember that this is not a cap in the true sense of the word in that once the Gb has been hit everything stops or slows down, but guidance. The policy seeming to be policed is that of excessions over 3 or more days, so a single, or couple of days excessions, perhaps the good ol linux distros or a new pc setup with a blitz of windows updates and software downloads onto it is acceptable.
NTL could just as easily state 30GB a month, but some smart alec would complain that this meant you could download more each day in February than January. Daily or monthly its still guidance. Those recieving letters are probably downloading more than 30Gb a month (did I read 10Gb a day?) so we are talking about users making maximum usage of the service.
