I myself confess to being a pretty high user and probably download in excess of 10GB per day. Obviously not every day but a good 3-4 days from the 7.

This means that I would hit the cap in less than 1 week! ! !

Now all I have to say is that I am not "Flaming" NTL for their introduction of a cap. And think that it is a "Good" thing to help them keep the systems in check and maintain a healthy speed for ALL of their customers.

If however NTL are reading any of this ( I know some employees are!) then I would like to suggest an "Uncapped" service for those that need it.

Many people in this thread have said that they would be willing to pay for the service so how hard would it be to include this option??

The only problem I can see is that many ADSL companies already offer an "Uncapped" service for the price we pay for the capped one at the moment so a price increase may not be advisable to achieve the "Uncapped" service.

Perhaps what is in order would be a slight reduction on the slower speeds that are capped??

But then if the "Heavy" user is in fact a minority they would lose out on profits with most people opting for the lower tiers...... Kinda more difficult to think of a solution when you get into it eh?? Hehehe.

Ahh got it.........How about a price increase of £2 on the 3MB and make it uncapped which would bring them into the pricing for the current ADSL "Uncapped" services. (Yeah ok I know there are 8MB lines out there but it is unfair to include these as such a small % can actually get the damn service), then a price reduction of £2 on the lower tiers from their Proposed pricing and keep them "Capped" as they are.

Also as NTL will be offering a 3MB line as apposed to the most common 2MB line perhaps another couple of £ on top of the £39.99 (ADSL) would not be to much to ask for the service??

£42.99 for 3MB "uncapped".......Who would go for it??

£22.99 for 2MB "Capped at 30GBp/m" (I think this is correct?).....Who??



Also @ Ignition.

I thought you gave some good answers and thank you for the time it took you to answer them. Althoug I must admit 1 or 2 did surprise me, Especially when you said you thought the 3MB was to slow and would like to see it faster still!!! Hehehe.
I kinda like the odd small increases throughout the year......Gives us something to look forward to!! ;-)
