If I'm comparing apples to oranges then WHY do NTL insist on doing the same, if they aren't the same as ADSL (especially BT) then they should stop trying to compete with them.

In fairness though as a customer, I couldn't care less about the technologies behind ADSL and Cable, its irrelevant, all people see is the Price, the Speed and the Caps (unless their hidden, but it's going to be harder for companies to hise them as they are fast becoming a contentious issue for the mainstream as well given the increased bandwidth use nowadays).

what you and NTL seem to be saying, though, orangebird is that VOIP, Online distribution (legal) of games (such as HL2 etc), as well as moves afoot by the movie industry to offer legit downloads is something that is neither wanted, nor able to be catered for on NTL'S network.
