Right....
firstly:
to NTL - this is great news, and puts NTL back at the top of the BB table.
Secondly - "usage allowance" : IT HAS NOT CHANGED ON THE 2M or 3M (in fact the 3M will be higher).
Yes, the 1M has a low "CAP", but then it is aimed at people who mainly surf, that does not involve huge downloads. - if you want a higher "cap" then get a better service !!
thirdly : <rant time - sorry>
I have never read so much rubbish about how this is a bad thing, and how NTL are trying to con us etc...
NTL are giving you higher speeds - something that we have been asking for for ages.
They are not charging you any more per month for this.
Ok, they say there will be a £25 admin fee - I will happily pay this - how much will they charge new users fo installation ?
If you do not want to move to the new speeds (although I personally cannot see any reason for this
) then you do not have to.
I have been pretty anti-NTL in most of my time on this forum (under it's many names
) but this is something that NTL have got right, and I think that people need to recognise that, rather than focus on the negatives
....
</rant - feel better for that

We had a "CAP" discussion when it was first announced - and I have yet to know anyone who has been disconnected for breaking this.
If you really need to download 40+Gb per month, then get a business service, because that is the only reason I can see for downloading that amount of data every month.
As ever - these are my opinions - you may not agree - but they will remain my opinions.
