They have only themselves to blame.
As I have stated before, the only way to deal with the matter is to increase capacity, which is not only my opinion, not now turn around to people and say "Can you keep your downloads to 1gb per day on your unlimited connection"
Does sound confusing doesnt it? a bit like your local pub offering unlimited pints of beer then moaning that not enough customers can get near the bar.
It is a blatant cheek on the part of NTL imo, and the sooner they actually do have the bottle to take someone to court for exceeding their unlimited use, the sooner their game, NTL,will be up.

Although NTL said that the service is unlimited they also said that users must not use their connections in a manner that affects other users enjoyment of the service (or words to that effect). Very hard not to affect other users even if you stay within the guidelines.

NTL would never take anyone to court for exceeding the guidelines for the simple reason that they would just remove your service if they thought that you was being unreasonable and refused to adjust your behaviour.
