1) To continue at 3MB down/768 up but pay by the MB/GB for the remaning period of the calender month.

2) His connection reverts to 150k up & down for the remainder of the calender month.
Shush Neil, everyone knows everyone in Holland, Sweden etc has uncapped 10Mbit both direction connections for 20p a month

However the above seems a good compromise, wouldn't surprise if ntl are looking at the ways other companies enforce their limits and will probably follow whatever they think is the best deal for customers and for the company, a compromise somewhere between the two.
