If they let it go I bet there will be peope bitching saying its unfair and that I should pay for the extra 10/20 gig, why? so they pay 50pence less a month?

TBH nobody knows yet, much like nobody really knew about the first soft cap and thus Billions of threads all arguing about the pro's and the cons. Best option is basically Wait and See and hopefully like say Pipex they will list in a FAQ what happens. In the case of Pipex if you go over they throttle your connection for the rest of the Billing month or you can pay £1.95 I think it is for 1 GIG extra.
As per Point above by SMHarman (people jumping on 1 mbit) - thats a very good point and now it all makes sense in a funny sort of way. I suppose the main bone of annoyance is that a lot of use Arguing use our connection on a random basis and maybe we would never go over the cap but if they bring in something that is meteringf what you use, then you start to ask questions such as what are they metering and so forth. I just had a dig around the ADSL Lite option on some ISP's and a lot have a policy in where as 12-6am is free of metering as during these hours it does not normally effect people when you download stuff. As already posted by others, a lot have already done this to ease the burden on the UBR at peak time...
