Headless chickens come to mind.
How many more different
official rumours/leaks are there going to be in the next few weeks. If these reports are coming from within the NTL boardroom, which looks more and more doubtful, then it is obvious that the whole capping/pricing is still up in the air, presumably the board are afraid of making a decision which will
A) cause current users to leave.
B) Drive potential customers to other ISP's.
As it stands today, the report is going to make quite a lot of current users leave/downgrade and it is also going to put off prospective users, remember that not all prospective users are newbie's so they will fully understand what capping means.
Of course I fully expect a new
Rumour/Leak to appear tomorrow or the day after, then another, then another....
It's almost as if NTL is testing the reaction before implementation.
Higher speeds WILL lead to more/bigger downloads no matter what people say about their habits not changing, ISP's are going to have to accept this fact and charge appropriately,
GET THE MONEY IN NTL, that's what you are in business for, don't restrict usage.
No other business I deal with limits how much I can spend with them, on the contrary everyone else keeps wanting me to spend more and more with them.
Finally, to the NTL Board, get this wrong and the shareholders will have your guts for garters.
(that should get the chickens running again)
