How about the Star Wars Galaxies trial download? 2GB!

Easily exceeds the limit in one day.

Add to that a download of Fedora Core (3x 650mb) and perhaps some video media (which NTL are trialling a service for), and you'd easily hit the 3 days in a row rule (which I think is the criteria for being considered an "offender").

Download sizes are only going to increase and that's just for your average user who's not interested in 24/7 P2P downloading. NTL need to wake up to the fact that the internet will get faster and download sizes will get bigger, and not have the attitude of "we need to discourage people from using the bandwidth".
