I think if you are at all worried about the cap and lets face it in the world of Internet radio, Internet TV, Game demos approach 1GB, patches, Trial versions of software and not to mention all the background traffic that may count to your totals (not clarified). You better start looking at alternative ISPs. There are plenty of other ISPd offering comparable services for the same price. Central Point Broadband offer 2Mb DSL for £35.49 and 1Mb for £25.99. With BT trialling speeds upto 8Mb/s and moving all the BT retail customers upto 2Mb as standard (with a usage cap). It won't be long before all ther ISPs follow suit. By the end of the year 2Mb will be an entry level service with 8 or 4 being 'un capped' services being widely available.

NTL will be left behind as the users who want the quickest, fastest, latest thing won't be with NTL to jump onto the next product. What is the point of NTL offering a 6Mb/s or 8Mb/s cable service in the future. The only reason someone wants a large 'bandwidth' service is to download large files or to get larger files quicker. Latency isn't a problem. So if everyone who is fed up with all the crap and talk about CAPS then just cancel the service and move your custom elsewhere.

NTL will get left behind as when they launch the next set of bandwidth products in a few years the customers who always want that new thing will have left and already be on a fast and un restricted DSL service.
