Pass, I've seen between £1.25 and £2.50 per GB upwards on other providers. BT Broadband are looking at around the £2.00 mark.

Also, what are the chances that NTL will cut service completely if one goes over the cap limit? Little, or fair, etc?

Slim, most common things done to people over their limit are a webpage informing you of the fact and asking you to click a button to agree to calm down before you can use service again, then one of the following if you don't(Canada), throttling you down to dialup speeds (Australia, US and others), or email informing you're past limit and requesting you slow down or further action taken (Various).
Some providers also warn by email if you hit 50 or 75% of limit considerably before expected.
Hope this helps, and as a reminder none of this is based on any knowledge I may have of the actual service itself, I'm illustrating what others nationally and worldwide do.
