With a massive download speed of 8mb, the service comes with a somewhat limited upload speed of 400K yet has an impressive content ratio of 33:1. The service is capped at 500GB per month, and will cost only £39.99 per month. Cable rival Telewest offer a 4MB service for £50.00, which comes free of any caps on usage. UK Online will be offering new sign ups a free wireless ethernet router before the 21st February.

How come they can make a profit out of 39.99 for a 8Mb service and let someone download 500GB a month, yet ntl complain about people using too much bandwidth, and the amount is tiny compaired to this - 40GB for the top tier (which is still ALOT slower than the upto 8 Mb package? Or is the introduction of Caps to allow a fairer service to all?
