The way i say it as the users have been left behind in advancing speeds; ntl want to market the 1mb product to light users, now when we've all come from a time when dial-up was the norm it seems pretty fast to us, and would suffice.
So now increasing the speeds, alot will find their service fast enough from what we've got used to, and will stay put or downgrade, this has to be where the caps have been introduced, to stop this.
I do think 56k speeds are harsh though, unacceptable tbh. It should be at least 150k; 56k is a punishment and you are just about limited to browsing.
Don't know if anybody read BT's capping policy
Quote:
This is suitable for the vast majority of users.
BT will not apply this usage allowance until Spring 2005. After this date, if your monthly usage allowance limit is exceeded, you will have the choice of a restricted service for the remainder of the month, or the option to buy additional usage capacity.
BT will confirm prices for additional usage nearer the time. Indicative prices are £2 per additional GB, although
BT plans to develop options which could make this even less.

I guess its good they are giving you a choice (though restricted could mean many things) but .....
£2 per gb?
You got to be ****ing kidding me.
