The way I see it is this regarding the usage allowance - If someone consistantly goes over the limit and it is seriously effecting others service for customers in their region then you probably get a polite notice to alter your usage.

If someone ocassionally goes over the limit and I am pretty much sure this applies to a signifcant amount of customers, then I am sure it will be overlooked, pretty much like its doing now.

You only have to think seriously about how many customers have posted on any forum that they have been disconnected or are going to be disconnected. Since the AUP change last year I do not know of anyone who has mentioned on any site that they had their services removed or discontinued. This can only point to one thing that it is a very rare occurance when ntl does act.

I am no fan of restrictions, personally it doesn't effect me one way or the other but I didn't particularily like the way ntl introduced them, one Friday afternoon, back in Feb 2003. But looking at the time factor since that time, when has ntl ever been seen to strictly enforce this?
