Just for your information EBITDA = Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, Amortisation. Take this off and the whole financial picture isn't so nice. It's easy to forget that ntl is still a company with a fairly unpleasant debt burden as it's come through a lot and the light is most definitely there at the end of the tunnel.
Of course you seem to think the financial health of the provider and the jobs of its' 14,000 staff don't affect you, so why should you care (to turn your argument about not caring about others back at you).
Thanks for proving my points though, you missed ISPA Awards I'm afraid so the 2 of you won't be able to stand outside there with a banner or whatever fighting the good fight.
Counters on Cisco kit count traffic passed over IP IE layer 4 protocols, ARP and DHCP are both layer 3 or below. Hope that helps.

I almost considered not responding to this rant.
One issue - 14000 staff and health of the provider. Of course we have an interest. It is ultimately the paying customer that enables the company to have a chance of remaining healthy and keeping it's staff employed. If the company does something that the customers are not happy about, those customers may leave, new ones don't join (which is harder retaining customers of winning new ones?), revenues fall, staff get laid off, etc. I hope that the company will sit up and listen, as by finding the means to provide customers what they actually want will enable the company to remain healthy.
Your post suggests it is correct for the company to do as it wants, with a take it or leave it attitude to it's customers. That short sighted view sums up much that is wrong with ntl, and why it will always be the subject of attention from sites like this and anticap.
