If you go over Pipex's CAP they charge you £1.95/GB extra you use. NTL do not charge any extra!!!
What are you talking about? Do you work for ntl by any chance?

You are comparing apples to oranges.

The Pipex equivalent to ntl's 600k service is the Solo 500-There is no cap/guideline on the Pipex 500k service-so there is no chance whatsoever of Pipex charging you extra for anything on that service.

Proof here: http://www.solo.pipex.net/xtreme-solutions/

Take a look at the link above, & you will see a big difference to the offerings of ntl....

There is a choice

1) Lower speed BB packages with no "guideline" (unlike ntl)

2) Higher speed BB packages (500k & MB) with no "guideline" (unlike ntl)

ntl's product offering is inferior to that of an equivalent DSL provider-period.

You have no choice with ntl-you have a "guideline" & that's the end of it-& ntl haven't even had the sense to adjust the "guideline" for those on 150k (soon to be 300k) to those on 1MB (soon to be 1.5MB) It's exactly the same.

What a great offering (not)

Please try to compare like for like in future, & you will soon see that ntl's offering is inferior in every way (no good you having a poor/slow 600k connection thanks to lousy proxies when compared to my rock solid 500k DSL connection is there!?)
