I have been reading alot about vm on other sites. and why i dont agree with throttling i still think they have a good service. however this is my gripe. i hear they are testing the 50mb broadband down south some where and are going to roll it out soon for an un confirmed £47pm,
so what will they be throttling that down to ? the only reason why anyone would want 50mb would be for hd streaming,etc,etc 
i also read some where that the cable lines were actually capable of carrying upto 150mb. so i cant understand why they need to throttle ???
this company have years infront of the old copper lines but i feel the way they are going they aint gonna have as many customers as they have now.
it was a kick in the teeth loosing some sky channels, now they come back to collect the teeth by capping ya !!!!!!

With the new docsis 3 they are capable of far higher than that at least 400MBit i say but i have heard rumors of it could go up to 2GBit siruis might be able to confirm that a bit more than me
