Simon Duffy has stated to me:-
"I think the market needs to accept that the days of unlimited usage for all are over. The vast majority of users will not be impacted by the limits, but the small number who regularly use GB by the ton drive our costs up significantly and, since we are not a charity, we need to recover them somehow. It doesn't seem fair to ask the majority of moderate users to subsidise the small number of heavy users and usage caps are the best way to ensure fair treatment for all."

It's just how they are enforced that I'm concerned about. 40GB a month just isn't quite enough for me on a 3Mb line something nearer 50 would be better. But if It's strictly enoforced I'll either have to adjust my habits or find another provider. Does AOL on the NTL network offer the same speeds as NTL? Although I'm loathe to go to them as I've been very happy with NTL for a number of years now.
