AOL previously had this to say to AntiCap UK on the subject of capping
Quote:
AOL's position is thus:

In an ideal world we believe that unmetered and always on should mean what they imply. The best experience online comes from having an uncapped connection,

otherwise it creates confusion and complexity for the customer. That said, it is never possible to rule it out entirely. The Internet moves so fast that new phenomena - such as Napster a few years back for example - can force you to take unusual measures.
That caveat aside, however, we will work very hard not to bring in capping on either narrowband or broadband and certainly have no plans to cap any services.

As you say, our whole aim is to promote content and all the benefits of broadband, which do not mix so well with a capped service.
AOL's T&Cs contain nothing about capping but I suspect that their contract with ntl might. Nevertheless, they would have to change their T&Cs if they were to cap customers on this new service.
