From what I can see there will always be an uncapped service available....
I have just found out that I may be able to get a 2MB connection on ADSL now and can get many uncapped services using it.
I will however stay with NTL and go to 3MB but as soon as they start asking about my download habits I will move on.
The way I see it is yes I download alot but with a faster connection you can download that amount at twice the speed so you would saturate the network/ubr or whatever for half the amount of time.......
I suppose the problem comes when you can download at twice the speed so you download twice as much, Hehehe....
But I think I would rather have a slower speed and no cap than a faster speed which I cannot use to it's full potential.
Instead of doing a 3MB capped, why not a 2MB uncapped or 2.5?? Or why not pay another £5P/m to get uncapped etc.....? Just adding this option would cater for a whole load more people!!!
Do not forget Telewest have a much smaller area than NTL though and so will find it easier to offer an uncapped service.
I just wonder what will happen when the 2 companies become 1?? Will NTL follow Telewest or vice versa?? Or will they stay as they are with differing services dependant on area but operate under the same name??
EDIT: The offer for ukonline is also capped at 4GB per day which is 112GB P/m and not 500GB.
Would be nice if it was though eh??
