I think I will be looking for a new I.S.P next year.

With more and more companies unbundling BT's exchanges we should see many high speed packeges available soon on ADSL and available to far more people than at the moment.

If you look at some of them they offer a choice of both "Capped" and "Uncapped" which at least gives you the choice.

If you are a heavy user (like myself) then I would opt for an uncapped service but pay a little extra.

For those that do not use it as much opt for the cheaper option (still utilising the same speed as me) but have to adhere to a cap.

It stuns me that NTL have not gone for an option similar to this. They seem to have a tier of a few separate speeds ALL with their own relavent caps. The caps are also so low that you could download your months worth of allowance in less than a week.

Is this really the way to go??

I am pretty sure that NTL will lose many, many customers next year if this is the way they plan to go forward.

Even NTL's rival Telewest (soon to be merged??) has no mention of a capped service......

Going back to the point made by the thread starter, is it wise to opt for NTL at all as your provider?? All depends on wether or not you are a Heavy user or not? From what I can gether you are not so perhaps a faster speed and a cap would suit you.
But on the other hand when you have this faster speed and you find out what you can really do with a fast connection you will find tha cap a killer...........
