You are allowed to exceed it twice in any rolling 14 consecutive day period. Exceed it 3 times and NTL will be notified. They have said if you are a persisitent offender, (IE you have to keep doing it, not just a couple of times accidently), then they'll send you a letter advising you to change your internet habits, and how best to do it. They have said they won't automatically disconnect people, or over charge them, but they have indicated recently, they might start getting tougher with disconnecting people from next year.
I don't think your low download days come into it. They only know when you overuse the connection. If you use it hard 3 days in a row, I don't think it will satisify them that you have used it gently for a few days before that.
Also, they count from 0:00am midnight to 23:59pm, so the best way to handle big downloads is to split it over that boundary

Thanks for the 'to the point' post, if I do receive any notification of my "overuse" of the connection I've had for over 4 years with them I'll start searching for alternative ISP's.
I feel sorry for those who are unlucky enough to be stuck in areas that can only receive NTL's services, luckily I have the option of dozens of providers in my area including wireless, I should have switched 2 years ago.
Anyways, thanks for the quick reply, I'll be on my way now
