Your right most singular web hosts give out about 250 - 300 Kbits/Sec but i easily get 6-7Mbits/Sec on popular torrents at work.


Overall im amazed this has happened and cant wait for my 2Mbit now. Outstanding move ntl. 1Mbit is very affordable for £18 5gig cap is stingy but theres a lot of people who want instant surfing who dont download distro's/games/media and wont go over that cap i.e my parents

2Mbit and a 30gig cap is fair play. If you download more than a gig consequtivly over 3 days then you deserve to be banned because your blatently leeching and performing illegal activities or just pay extra for the 40gig bandwidth liberties.

Providing ntl have p2p cache in place and the proxies are working well with QOS and auto balacning scripts on the UBR i dont see why the network would suffer from this.

Roll on next year!!
