I don't think that's a joke - some people simply don't download a lot. I know my parents use their BB connection only to check email, and perhaps visit a couple of websites every day - they would get nowhere near 1Gb a month, but they would save £5 per month over the same speed service from ntl.

Even more interesting in that story is Telewest's new 256KBps service at £17.99p m. Why is it that Telewest, who have the same infrastructure as ntl, can offer a faster service at the same price? Although they are not in competition, I will be dissapointed if ntl don't match this offer soon - Telewest's 2Meg service, their lack of a cap and now this new service are really beginning to show what a cable network with proper investment can achieve, and it's putting ntl to shame.
