will NTL review their cap????
as with BTs 1mb line they get a average of 1gig/day limit
and by the time all these takes affect NTL 1mb should be running at 1.5mb
shouldnt they have a larger cap???

i want to know when NTL will apply the price cut if this is true
NTL always tries to be cheaper then BT
so its understandable that NTL cut their price on the 1mb/1.5mb line
but how much cheaper will the 1mb/1.5mb line be???
or so i say how much cheaper can NTL price it at the currect situation???

£35???
its still more expensive then BT 1mb line
people might say the line is gonna be 1.5mb soon so its still well priced
but its not if theres still the 1gig/day cap with NTL

£30??? its only £5 more expensive then the 600k/750k
and its gonna make the 600k/750k service badly priced

i know NTL at the moment aint strict with their cap
but its still there and people are still restricted by it
cause of afraid of going over too much
Its a tricky one for NTL. On one hand they're offering the higher speed connections (soon) but on the other hand, your still limited to the same amount per day/month.

Given that, NTL will proberly play the "its faster then BT" card as most regular users (yes, they do exist) are blind to this "1gig a day" cap. I doubt the price will change.
