ok, so what about "what i see become the norm in the future" downloading game content, like Half-Life 2 via steam and probably pay per film subsciption downloads, are we not to be allowed to do this, defeats the object of having BB in the 1st place if you gotta pay for a piece of software then find out at the end of the month you getting charged extra from NTL for going over the Cap (if they do go this route)

seems to me that we are going backwards instead of forwards where the interent is becomes an alternative to going to the shops to buy your games, video's ect.

I'm on 1.5meg, don't plan to change, and don't wish to find suddenly enforced to a 5 gig a month cap, thats just silly, means for example - i download Half-life 2 then i'm screwed for the rest of the month!
