Cable Forum - View Single Post - [Merged] NTL - New 1MB / 5GB Cap

There has been a lot said about caps and there has been a big assumption made about what they will be when the higher speeds are introduced next year. The assumption is that if you do not upgrade to the new speeds then you will continue to have the "soft" cap that you currently have. Have NTL said that this will be the case?

With the mention of metered broadband in NTLs timetable for next year and the "hard" caps that many think will be enforced it is almost certain that the current "soft" caps will be replaced. If anyone thinks that they will be able to stay on 1.5Mb and be free to ignore the "soft" cap then I think they will have a shock coming.
