The restrictions are supposidly for the "avarage user"
If a Family of 4-5 people use the internet & use up all their allocated restricted download limit each month they are branded & fall into The heavy user catagory...

I don't know what the revised AUP will say, but I am sure the current one says that no more than 3 devices should be connected to the network.

but wait NTL will surely have an answer for this...
yes...
NTL will probably send them an email suggesting that The Family change the way they use their NTL BB service & if they cannot do that strongly suggest The Family should move up a tier.. & what happens if they still exceed their usage.. well its possible that NTL will ask them for even more money ontop of their subscription if they dont pay then little Jimmy (even though his dad/mam paid extra money to a different company to legally download files) wont be able to use M$ XbL & download those extra game levels etc... till the month ends.

You appear to be assuming NTL will actively enforce the cap. There is no evidence (at the moment) they will do this. They certainly don't seem to have been enforcing the current cap very actively.
As I said earlier, they may only enforce the new caps in areas where people are getting slow connections, and there are one or two people that are downloading huge amounts each day, That is what they seem to have done with the current cap.
