Must admit 8 meg adsl sounds tempting, but lets give ntl the benefit of the doubt until all this is definite.
8 Mb ADSL does sound tempting as does uncapped broadband but think about it. You are only able to get 8Mb if you live close to the exchange and it is only up to 8Mb, not a guaranteed 8Mb. If all the heavy users move from capped services to uncapped fast services then the chances are that you may get far less than the expected speed and maybe little more than dial-up speed. If you read through these forums and others you will notice that if customers are not getting full speed all the time then they say there is a problem. Cheap broadband, being a contended service, relies on customer usage not being heavy 24/7 usage and sooner rather than later some ISPs will suffer the consequences of attracting all those heavy users.
