Have you? I'll ignore the factual errors for now, since Ignition has kindly done the job of pointed them out for me.

You clearly didn't understand the thrust of my post, so I'll spell it out for you. The UK has very slow broadband compared to other similar countries. Part of the problem is BT not offering anything faster than 1MB in most areas. The other part is that cable companies, NTL included, are not pushing forward as much as they could.

I suppose it's hard to blame them in a way, since there is so little competition, but by introducing a cap (don't forget, they were the first broadband ISP to formally have a cap) they started a dangerious precident. It's often a problem with UK companies in general - they try and save money by having a sub-standard product and then wonder why things just get worse.
