I think the soft cap breach probably wouldn't stick in court mainly because NTL didn't notify customers in the proper manner but to be honest if it came to a court case I am sure NTL could bring up some other part of their AUP to force breach of contract.

I just wish it was as easy to change providers as a lot of people make out, there is reasons why people dont simply move from ntl, stress of moving, lack of adsl in area, landlord restrictions. Its not like changing adsl providers it involves changing landline provider, changing tv provider as well as having a new isp and to a lot of people they probably just cant be bothered. I think this is what saves ntl from mass walkout. I have a new question tho.

Lets say this scenario occurs.

NTL have a cap in place to maintain QOS, but lots of AOL cable customers in area downloading 150 gig a month and congestion issues, would this affect NTL customers on same ubr or are they seperatly allocated bandwidth.
