What I am trying to work out is a simple thing really - They say Leechers (using there line way too much) are costing NTL money - can I ask how this is the case, which part of the comms is the part which makes them spend money? Is this the link between NTL and the rest of the Net?

Is it also not possible when data never leaves the NTL Network to allow faster speeds, so uploads for example or is the limit not on the network itself but rather the Technology we have? Im sure there is times on the network when Lots of Bandwidth is doing nothing, such as middle of the night - would be good if possible to have more if the system allows.

It sort of reminds me of a Company I worked at, they had 1000mbit lines to the servers but limited cards to 10mbit as they thought it would cause a slow down if they let people have 100Mbit speeds - yes they had switches etc installed!!
