I cannot see anyone who is getting a good broadband experience with NTL and with a usage pattern that is within the caps leaving. Most clued up members will have ascertained their usage pattern and will know if the caps are likely to affect them.
Some have voted maybe but again this could be for the same reasons as those that have voted yes.
Some customers have a usage pattern which is way over the top of the caps that have been announced. These may probably leave for pastures new but this could be to NTLs advantage even if they are taking all three services and move them all away from NTL.
Voting has been carried out based on assumptions of what is going to happen. These assumptions may well prove to be correct but nothing is set in stone until full details are released. Who knows what options may be available at the time of implementation to cater for the various types of internet user. Likewise, who knows what restrictions ADSL suppliers may introduce if faced with an influx of the masses of high usage customers that some are saying will leave NTL.

There were members on here
"at least 5 that i remember Some involved with anti cap uk." and who are still on here, who stated when the first cap was introduced that they would leave and go to bt and adsl.
Guess what they are still here and still saying they will leave
. So should be interesting to see in say 2 months who is still here and who has had the ball's to do what they said they would do.
