If you're serious about making your campaign work RTFM, at the moment all of this is exactly the same as the original AUP change thread, mostly hot air and ideas of how you can miraculously pressure ntl. I can't see that this is being over-enforced, mostly extra heavy users, apart from that nothing else. Why are people panicking, until you receive a letter what's the problem? It's not like teacher is going to tick you off for not doing home work. Until this directly afffects you relax.
Well well, whose panicking? So your saying that "high-margin broadband customers" means something other than the obvious? And your stance seems to be "If it doesn't directly affect me I dont give a monkeys" - Nice

While you're at it have a look at the comments on ISPReview regarding your campaign, quite amusing actually
Your site nearly died previously, virtually no visitors, no doubt this'll increase hits numbers, for a few weeks, then indifference will reign again.
Very funny. The campaign virtually closed down due to the fact that we had won the first battle. Not a single ntl customer has been capped to this day. Maybe that's got something to do with all the effort we put in? Now another skirmish kicks off. We'll see how it goes.

I've no idea why online media sites take any interest in your point of view to be honest, I guess it's something to fill the column inches with. I find your site wholly amateurish, and you guys lacking in industry knowledge, experience, technical skill, any concept of how to run an ISP properly, and how to run an effective campaign. Erolz appears to have left you which is a shame, he would have been a huge asset, he knows what he's doing, your treasurer does too, shame he's not about more.
We are amateurs and proud of it. We're not in the business of running ISPs. The campaign slowed as we'd already won the first battle. See above.

I do like the way ISPreview and Mark J portrayed it like people actually care what you have to say, ditto The Register, there's only 5 of you so not entirely sure why 'a spokesman' talked. '"This is the first time we are aware of any letters being sent out. If these letters had been sent out in any number at all in the past we would have heard about it," he said.' Profound stuff indeed.
yawn
