The NTL capped service means that once you have used your allowance for the month it limits your speed to standard dial up for the rest of the month, a number of other countries such as Belgium have had the same system in place for a few years now.

I'm sorry, where did you source your cap info from?

As I only live less than 50 yards from the exchange, will only pay an extra £2.00 for a service that is 8 times faster and is "capped" (loosely speaking) to 500GB per month it would be pretty stupid of me to stay with NTL. Also all of my local area is currently on cable modems and so I will have alot of the contention ratio all to myself :o)

How do you work out that 8mb is 8 times faster than 3mb????

NTL really need to be able to keep up with the market as they have the infrastructure in place to be able to offer much higher speeds than ADSL, TELEWEST seem to be doing a better job but it is a pity that the two companies do not operate within the same areas as some healthy competition is sorely needed.

Do you not read the news? ntl and telewest have never been and probably will never be in competition....
