Just had a thought there Paul when you wrote that.....
You go to work for 8 hours a day, at this said work I imagine you have access to the Net for the odd Browse (work reasons of course)...Now working on a computer all day means generally when you get home, the last thing you want to do is sit for more hours in front of your own PC at home and continue browsing web sites, downloading etc..
When I worked at a certain place I had access to a 45Mbit line with only two other users on, so I def was not going to be sitting at home downloading stuff (legal I may add) when i can get it in next to no time on that line.
I def think the main bone of contention here (on the whole) is a choice, if NTL bring into practice what they are thinking of doing then even though many wont get effected really by it, they still are not happy as they have not many options (for those poor sods who can only have NTL).
Ref your post Daxx, I also dont give a Hoot myself whatever happens, as i have said, I have a BT line, I am close to a Exchange and I can get upto 2mbit ADSL. I dont swap over yet cos it is not broke as they say - once it does break (caps etc) then I will also Vote with my Wallet - no major problems there...
Last point - still see no Techies have come into the converation ref my request as to the reasons for a cap and how increasing the speed + giving you a Quota is going to help the network out with these so called Heavy Users - if they wanted to be nasty (these Wazez Monkeys) all they got to do is download between 6pm and 10pm say - peak time's - it will cripple the network if enough do it but no much NTL can do about it (or will they also slip that into the mix as well?)
