In reply to the pointless moaning about the cap, speeds and god knows what else...may I ask what the point of this forum actually is? Was it not started as a outlet for people to show there disagreement with the way NTL were going/have gone? All i see if the NTL Lovers standing by no matter what they put on there line...the old spin of "soon everybody will be capped no matter what" never sort of panned out did it? Yes ISP's have cap but ONLY on the lite packages...not quite the same thing.

The fact the first cap thread and now this one is always near the top, always MOAN about etc - does not that show you something? You cannot tell me a single home user likes the idea of a cap been imposed, most are in the dark, second it becomes reality (bloddy soon I hope to at least make some headroom on these arguments) then watch what happens...Only way a CAP to become the normal is if Every single ISP does the same thing. I personally would love to see NTL stick there necks on the line and bring in a hard cap across there entire range - how long we got now? Few months till something is in writing?

If this forum has nothing to do with NTL (as in owned by or indeed looked at even) then we can post till were blue in the face, little will be done or taken notice of.

This is my view on what will happen over the period as I see it...
NTL Introduce a hard cap with rules and reg on what/why/wherefor.
People wont come on here and moan about it - they will quite simple change (of they can mind you, cos not everyone can get ADSL etc) to another ISP, if they have a NTL phone line then they also will need a BT line, so a double whammy.

The people who have moved on (a lot of them maybe) will go out of there way to inform and advise people they know not to pick NTL and the reaosns why - a lot of people wont even get near the cap but the fact it will be there is clock watching, people def dont like that, the days of Dial up are gone I tell you.

These are my views - probably wrong - just how I feel over whats been said so far and for one - CAP=NTL Disconnected as far as Im concerned, already have a BT line after last capping crap...so im kinda ready and waiting as they say...
