Well I gotta say - I used to be Firmly on the "caps are very bad and need to be killed on sight" but my Useage pattern has changed drasticly over the years. Now to be totally honest I have no idea how much I Down/Up a month, aa day or whatever but I suspect to be honest I fit in the cat of a "normal" user (compared to say a Lite User). I have never ever ever Liked and never will P2P apps, I do use the newsgroups + Newsbin but thats only the odd day a week if that now.

Now if they left it as a soft cap or a cap but same as plusnet there, through the night not counted sort of thing then I have no problem tbh to stay with NTL. The softcap I "think" works cos if a Person uses it like 1:1 24/7 etc then yes they shoudl be kicked or speed restricted..

By the way, noone sort of answered my question onthe other thread, I was aksing for a mate who lives in Ireland if they also getting upgrades. He did say they were getting sold off or something (NTL)over there so I have no idea..
