Shifting 1TB in 2 days as part of a warez hub (and don't even try to give me bull**** about it being legit traffic, I'm neither naive nor stupid) isn't really the average user, infact it's totally irrelevant for the purposes of this discussion.
Extreme bandwidth usage has no relevance to these issues at all, using 500GB a week is clearly an abnormal usage pattern, and imho those who do so can go and get themselves a dedicated box as they have no business doing that on a home or business broadband connection that isn't 1:1.
X-Box chipped by any chance?
Sorry to seem insulting but you're exactly the kind of user that no ISP wants and who ntl are hoping to be shot of with the capped upgrades.
The new packages from BT Are fabulous news, this kind of competition will spur on the progress of HSI in the UK and as they move to 2 - 8Mbps will encourage the cablecos and LLU operators to compete through innovation.
