There are also other things such as people downloading at work because their work has a nice connection and then not downloading at home, but not everyone is lucky enough to be in that position. I would like someone to show me a website that needs a 3mbit connection and is quite slow on a 750kbit connection. Prove me wrong please.

Most people that you speak to would make up a very (repeated many times) small percentage of NTLs customer base.
Most NTL customers don't know there is a cap because they have never been informed of one by the company.
Most NTL customers have never visited this or similar sites so will not know of the discussions about caps.
Lack of knowledge about the existance of caps on NTL does not make a customer a newbie.
There are many websites that contain links which if the user clicks on every one will take substantially more time on a 750k connection than on a 3 Mb connection. When a person visits a website they do tend to click on the links within it. I visit a website every now and then which is basically nothing but a list of links to very large PDF files and you can certainly see the difference that hish speed connections make.
