if traffic includes upload bandwidth then ntl shouldnt be too worried about upload been saturated. Also mick if you can get answers to these questions would be good thanks.

1 - Will NTL be providing liv monitoring tools to measure bandwidth usage.

2 - If a user hits the limit what are the options available for the user (buy extra 30 gig for £15 ?, cap to 64k download?, cutoff?)
Our information is that they haven't made a final decision on upload, but it looks unlikely to change at the moment.

For you questions ;

1. I would say yes - they are spending a fortune on the network, it seems reasonable to assume that this will include monitoring equipment, otherwise "allowances" are meaningless.

2. How about both ? They drop your speed (64k seems unlikely, I would guess at least 150k as this is the sort of minimum speed to still be classed as BB). Then they offer you more bandwidth, at a price, or an upgrade if you aren't on the top speed.

If I were a betting man, I would bet on the above by 2006.
