Second, what will happen in 5 years from now when (or if) the AUP has changed maybe once a year? You really expect a company to administer five different sets of rules? What about in 50 years from now?
No, not like your employment contract at all...The two are totally different in law. One is to do with employment, one to do with the provision of goods and services under the sale of goods act.
I don't think going over old ground about the cap on this thread is relevant. This thread is about price increases, the price and speed increases don't really have any relevance on the cap, apart from the fact that soon every BB customer will be able to hit their theoretical limit quicker.
I know it's a swine when the prices go up - I understand that - having been with that lot for the last 9 years, my prices have risen astronomically before, but before I've never got anything better for it. At least on this occasion there is some solace in the fact that you can get some extra bandwidth for your money - or pocket the money and take a small hit on the size of your bandwidth.

Andygrif, I happen to think that the cap is relevant, as do many people.
And sadly, a contract is a contract, if it says unlimited it is that, unlimited.
If I want to break the, oops lets not talk about that word " CAP ", and NTL wish to persue the matter in the courts then let them try it.
I signed the contract for a minimum of 12 months, that contract is rolling, and I can cancel it within 30 days notice if I choose.
They do have to send you a new contract if they have changed any of the conditions of that contract.
What happens in 50 years time? I probably wont be here.
But if they change the terms and conditions I have to agree to them, as it is, I have not been sent or asked to agree to a new contract.
