The cap levels quoted are just a reiteration of the present soft cap which will continue as a soft cap for a while after the speed upgrades have been implemented. Hard caps will follow not too long afterwards which will be different but we will have to wait and see what those hard caps will be and what happens when you reach them. Some 3Mb to be customers will drop to 2Mb to save money but the really heavy downloaders will probably stick with the 3Mb in an effort to download even more of the internet. My own feeling is that after the speed increases and whilst the caps are still soft NTL may start sending out letters to the very heavy users who have not moderated their activities.
