With all this talk of bandwidth limits can I point out that you can download way more than 30GB per month (more than double this, in fact) on NTL and stay within the AUP guidelines. When xDSL ISPs quote a capped service it is usually a combined traffic level for both downloads and uploads, so a 2GB limit per month will not allow you to download 2GB.
With speeeds available on xDSL you have to remember that line distance from the exchange affects the level of service that you can get and that not all exchanges supply all the service levels advertised. Line quality also affects your ability to obtain xDSL so you can live within a line distance that should support your requirements but line quality can mean you are unable to get that service. Also, what is not very often mentioned is that xDSL upload speeds degrade rapidly with line distance from the exchange.
