The main problem at the moment, is that we don't know...

For all the hoohah when the first introduced the "CAP" - (use more than 1Gb/day and they MAY be having words with you) - it has not been a big thing, so the current tariffs all have a theoretical 30Gb/month cap, if it were enforced agressively.

So the 750k middle tier upgrades to 2Mbit, and the cap is presumably a hardened 30Gb/month.
The current bottom tier gets an upgrade to 1Mbit, and the 5Gb/month cap is not for capacity reasons, but to stop every current 750k user piling down and saying "thanks for the price cut".

The "£1 5.99 / 300k" - just where does that sit?
Do current 300k users who do not upgrade get a price cut?
No cap figure was mentioned for the 300k, but I'd guess on it getting a lower one (as a pure dialup replacement), the same 5Gb as the 1Mbit, or perhaps the old style 1Gb/day limit to appease 300k users who don't fancy the "give with one hand and take with the other" upgrade/downgrade of speed and quota.

Sure NTL are not a charity, but other than the gross over users (a small percentage), they cannot afford to alienate a segment of their user base who may terminate broadband and other services.


At the moment, we are still guessing!
