I think every man and his dog knows about the cap issue, and the thread's doing little good while the usual suspects are just using it as a stick to beat ntl with.

I say let's hold off on the cap stuff at least, certainly until ntl come out and say exactly what will happen regarding all that, then, if it looks a poor deal, people will be justified in saying so...on the other hand, if it's a GOOD deal.....

NTL are increasing the speeds of the tiers and holding prices at current levels. The only way that this can be seen as bad news is that some users may be concerned that higher uncapped speeds will be taken advantage of by the 24/7 lets max out our connections brigade who could possibly affect the usage of others on their UBR. By imposing caps the aforementioned brigade will moan like hell about them. In other words, caps are the only thing left to be talked about and people will talk about them until they cease to exist, if they ever do.
