All this kerfuffle is just a repeat of what happened when the 1G/3 in 14 limit was introduced a couple of years ago and the usual 'I want it without limits or I'm off' brigade are out in force.  (nice to see some of the 'old' I'm off brigade are still with NTL, no provider come up to your exacting standards then?) |
I intend to wait and see. In fact one of my earlier posts was aimed at trying to gain additional info regarding what the Bandwidth Police will have in their arsenal. The current details from NTL are sketchy at best regarding the cap and how it's going to be implemented but I beleive this is a planned move on NTL's part. They don't want to emphasize the restricted nature of their new offerings. Instead they want to get some mileage out of being the fastest mainstream operator before they confirm their plans for the cap. I cannot blame them for this as it's sound marketing but it does lead to speculative threads such as this one because users aren't presented with all the facts.
As to still being with NTL. I have so far had no contact from them regarding my usage. If and when I do get a cease and desist letter thats when I'll initiate a move to an alternate ISP. I have played a wait and see policy so far and will continue to do so until NTL make it such that I cannot use my connection in the manner that I choose (and I won't get drawn on wether what I choose is right or wrong as everyone's view on that differs).
