I think someone mentioned the cap does not actually limit you to 30gb per month, but rather asks you not to go above 1gb per day for something like 3 consecutive days in a 14 day period. I think we're all agreed this is rather wooly, and a 30gb per month allowance would be far more sensible, but that's not the issue.
To complete your story, customers also need to take into account the following, which is cost of bandwidth (based on new pricing and bandwidth):
300k = 5.9p per k
750k = 3.3p per k
1.5mb = 2.5p per k
This compares to currently:
150k = 11.9p per k
600k = 4.2p per k
1mb = 3.5p per k
This highlights how much the 150k users were being fleeced, but it also domstrates that the new pricing is better value for money.

Andy, have NTL asked if people want the increase in speed? no they have not.
Like with anything in life, you should be given a choice.
As I said earlier, either a £1 increase across all three speeds, or no increase and things left as they are.
And the bottom line is, 1mb users are still subsidising the lower speeds before the speed increases come in, and what is to say how long it will take NTL to increase the speeds? this week? next week? next month? next year? in the meantime we are frankly being fleeced, which is why I dropped down a tier.
