I'm presuming if they 'suspend it' or 'cancel it' then you'll be out of their contract, and then within rights to cancel their other services etc. Mind, I wouldn't be all that surprised if they'd suspend it while still charging.
Like many (though I'm on 10mb), I wouldnt give a monkeys too much if they throttled it for rest of month at peak times once hit certain point - at least it would be usable in daytime......but its something THEY need to manage, not us, and not to BS us.
Even had to kick my son off his pc yesterday, when he was playing a game on it, to see he'd quit the game and had been watching away CITV programs in full on the pc (typically only half watching then clicking to each one).
It was months back now that had the letters, but no idea if after a few months of 'good behaviour' it gets reset....or if it just takes one more instance of p'ing them off to have them cut me off.
I "foolishly" use my ntlworld email address for work related stuff too....so there'd be a point about 'loss of earnings' I guess . Think I should start getting that work related email changed to something else like gmail methinks, as can't trust VM
