The choice is yours and yours alone. Virtually every company in existance provides goods or services for a particular section of the community, not for all the community. If NTL provide a broadband service that you are happy with, at a price that suits you and with usage conditions that you are prepared to accept then you go with them. If they don't then you look elsewhere. If no company offer the service that you want then it's tough, you cannot have it.
I don't think that some people have thought this through. NTL are marketing these new speeds with usage conditions applicable to them because they want to provide a service that attracts customers not drive them away. Most users think that it is a very good deal. Some customers are waiting for full details to be announced before making their minds up. NTL will have done their research and worked their sums out and decided what is best for the company at this moment in time and for the forseeable future. They will have looked at such things as the effect of high usage customers on the network and may come up with a solution that caters for them, but we will have to wait and see if this is the case. They could have got it wrong but somehow I doubt it.
