I have no problems with ppl sniffing my unsecure packets.. The only really important stuff I dont want out, like CC numbers, and only used on secure sites.. You'd be an idiot to blankly email these numbers out, or put them onto an unsecure site.

What I find alot more dangerous, is if ppl start uncapping their modems, which would have a detrimental effect on ntl. It would even put their bandwidth costs up, and then be forced to relay these costs to customers.
