Why are we moaning about something that has not even happened yet??

I doubt that any of this is actually definate and things may yet change.

I for one consider myself to be an extremely heavy user and will use my connection for what I beleive it was intended for......Streaming huge amounts of data and great speeds.
There is hardly a point on having a 3MB connection and then imposing a cap on top of it so it cannot be fully used. Indeed the only reason I will go for the 3MB service is simply becuase of the higher cap. I believe that that they should have there fastest connection at an uncapped level but maybe up the price a little. I'm not talking £50 or anything stupid like that but maybe £40 or £42.

If other countries can have these sorts of speeds.....and WAY above AND have them uncapped or at the very lease capped WAY higher than ours then why can we not??

The other thing to remember is that ADSL will fight back next year aswell and if they introduce higher speeds they are going to have to produce something pretty special to compete with the prices NTL have set out so far.

Their weapon could may well be an Uncapped service. Just look around at the moment and you will find at least 3-4 who offer 2MB with an uncapped service for less than £40.
Hopefully if this cap is to strict for me and many others here thsn these options will offer an alternative to this capped service.
Unfortunately my rickety old phoneline and it's 512 capacity at present means I may have to make the best of this offer by NTL.
