NTL implemented traffic shaping on their service a few months back, not sure if Telewest ever did. Not sure what the current plans are overall although given that the cable network can accomodate speeds significantly higher than 10mb (50mb and 100mb are being trialled) I cant see there being a great need to continue with it on the old NTL side.. Maybe if we see a rollout of higher speeds nationally although that would depend on how many people use the full potential of those speeds. I have a 10mb connection and rarely if ever use the full potential of it as most websites simply cant serve the files that quickly on a consistent basis..
