The speeds sound good and the extra couple of K upload will be vaugly useful but if the hard cap comes then I will be off to an ADSL company.
I think UK online now do an Uncapped 2MB for 29.99....Sounds good to me ! !
The other thing that puzzles me is the drop on the top tier from 40GB to 30GB per month which is the same as the 2MB product. Now forgive me for sounding silly but the 2MB is cheaper right? So the only benefit of the 3MB is the ability to hit the (same) cap quicker and pay Extra for it?? Sounds not to good to me. I think I would rather pay over £10 LESS every month and know at least I will not hit my cap quite so quickly. To be fair you can only load a web page so fast before the speed increase becomes un-noticeable right? Hehehe
However to be honest I doubt the hard cap will come. I think just like the Admin fee it will be dropped. While there are many other companies out there offering an uncapped service for less money people will go (if they have the need). I know I would certainly a slower speed but know that I could use it whenever I like and for whatever I like.

Yes but ntl aren't a niche isp, targeting the users who may require ex amount of bandwidth. Correct me if i'm wrong, but from a business point of view, their target to beat is the mainstream isps, who get all the press, like BT, Wannado and AOL.
And tbh, they are offering a much more competitive product then them. But i am still against hard capping
