Whilst NTL have quoted usage allowances they have not said how usage will be measured nor how the user will keep track of his / her usage. Will usage be the actual throughput of the cable modem or the effective throughput where the user will not have the data involved in transmission of headers in the IP layer and lower layers counted against their usage.

Have a look at http://www.aaisp.net.uk/aa/adsl/adslother.html for a laugh and see what their charges are like. Please note the top up charge for usage above your monthly allowance which is £5.88 per GB.
Ouch

Home-High : £50.52 8GB 1M/250K Additional capacity for heavier users
so 3GB per month is ample capacity for home usage at 1M and costs £27 ?
and 1M with a limit of 8GB is £50 - Hmmm - won't be using them then
