And that is actually a stupid example to use in this situation. How can the Government in this country expect users to get on the net and use it for what its meant - which is not downloading illegal wares and mp3's when there are companies like this around who are going to dictate what can and cannot be done.
I am not arsed what they think, if I wish to purchase gig loads of software and download them I am perfectly within my rights to do so - maybe NTL should change thier AUP regarding large programs as 100meg these days is nothing!

Exactly the point I was making. There is nothing in NTLs terms that stop you from downloading large legal software. The vast majority of users will never come anywhere near the caps but some users will. We will have to wait and see what happens when the cap is reached.
What it comes down to at the end of the day is that if you have something that needs to be carried you choose the carrier that can handle it. This applies whether it is fridge freezers, people or data. You don't order a taxi if you have 30 people to transport, you hire a bus. You don't hire the taxi and then when it comes along complain that it hasn't the capacity that you want and that it's infringing your human rights and the taxi company should be taken to court. If you want to transfer more data than your ISP says you can then you look for an ISP that meets your requirements.
