I take it you think its ok for NTL to be miles behind the competition then?

You want to accept it but go ahead you will be complaining in the future when new content does become available online and you cannot use it.

Dialup is not a viable alternative, its probably the reason why customers havent deserted ntl, most people I know who do have the choice between ntl and adsl have gone with adsl/sky, the ones who do use ntl (who have a choice) its because they save money, certianly not on quality of service.

As for the bbc content thanks for bringing that kitty, it is actually available now to schools and the like but soon it will be available to all the public, they are making all old tv programs 70s,80s,90s etc. available to download, things like grange hill etc.
Also available now is downloading old games (abandon ware), which I do a fair bit off, and whenever I buy software online I download it when possible as I get it quicker and I dont pay for shipping.

650 short videos, 10,000 pictures or around 100 large software programmes downloaded per day).

100 small software programs maybe, to me a large software program is at least 1 cd in size.
I download music videos which vary from 60megabytes in size to around 300 megabytes in size so lets call it an average 180 meg a clip, that makes 28gig.
