NTL have not said what they will do with people that go over the cap. They may cut you off, they may charge for the extra download. The fact is that WE DON'T KNOW. All we have at the moment is speculation.

Ntl's own propoaganda suggests metering will be a real possibility:
http://www.ntl.com/locales/gb/en/inv...-Final-UBS.pdf see page 11 shows references that they expect a luanch in 2005 after VOD. This story was pciked up on by CF in news article:
http://www.cableforum.co.uk/article/...adband-in-2005 . Although I will admit that it is unclear whether this would be an additional package to the exisitng (upgraded speed) lineups.

To be honest, if the cap is a problem, then most of us do have an answer: Find an uncapped broadband provider. If enough people do this, you can bet NTL will reconsider their position.

Agreed, but ntl do seem rather blinkered to the views of their customers, with high level management spouting the party line and generally preferring to provide what is good for ntl rather than what the customer might prefer.
