NTL may lose customers who want to sit on the net day and night downloading stuff to burn onto CDs to sell on Ebay and make a fortune. Good!
The broadband service is aimed at average everyday users. I can assure people here and now that the absolute vast majority of customers are not remotely concerned with caps since none of these caps affects what they want to do.
Since the caps were introduced customer numbers are up massively.
As I have said before, people need to stop thinking that users of this forum in some way represent the entire customer base. I have yet to deal with a broadband customer who has even heard of this site. Most customers are happy with caps.
They aren't going to go away. They were only needed in the first place by any company because certain people saw it as a way to run their own illegal businesses from home.
No residential user can stand here and tell me they need the ability to download more than 200 MP3's a day, or 600 film trailers, or 100 large software programs, every day, every month, every year. No way. Sorry, if you're doing that you're running a business and you can clear off.
