Whilst 5Gb appears low to many people for the 1Mb service you have to remember that it is 5 times the cap that some ISPs put on their entry level services. Just because NTL have given 1Mb as the lowest tier doesn't mean that users should try to max this out at all times. Most 1Mb users will be quite happy to do what they normally do but will be glad that their odd download only takes around a seventh of the time that it used to only a couple of months ago.

What some people are saying is that they are getting much faster connections and they should use this extra speed to the full all the time.
If they were to look at it as if they still will have the same speed as they now have with a bonus of getting the same downloads as they now do in half the time, things may look a little different.
