It's a very similar situation. NTL leaked details of the current caps on one friday afternoon (although they have announced caps for later in the year this time). Last time, they mentioned nothing of what would happen to people going over their download limits, so the rumours started (cut offs IIRC). This time, they have mentioned that something will happen, but have not specified what, so, the rumours are starting (speed drops appear to be the favourite).
AFAIK, people didn't leave in their thousands (which was one of the threats bandied about last time as well). Maybe some left, but not enough to make much of a difference to NTL. I personally think it will be the same this time.
