Because they are a business? Wether you agree with it or not, NTL do have a responsibility to pay their debts as well as having shareholders. Obviously they need to balance these up with keeping the customer happy. Also bear in mind that with heavy downloaders they do actually make quite a large loss on the account (so if you are a 1.5 Meg user and download 24/7, you are costing NTL far more than you are paying them).
Edit: Actually, although you are costing NTL more directly, they will pass that charge on to everyone else, so indirectly, you are costing everyone else more.
I know there is no official announcement, but if the rumours on this site are true, then these "caps" are not actually cut off points, but simply the point at which NTL will start charging extra for bandwidth usage. I may get flamed for this, but I think this is fair.
