To the original post - that means having to limit each IP's bandwidth , quite a fiddly process. That would need to be applied to the router that passes packets to the internet backbone routers. Given the hundred's of thousands of customers, it would provide pretty difficult.

Also, each upstream (NTL use Euro/Docsis 1.1 not 2.0) has 2.56mbits of capacity each channel. 6 channels , of which some are not available. Letting users peer with their next door neighbour would impact everyone on that upstream unfortunately.
