Well Orangebird, the difference is this proposed cap is a hard cap, which means exceeding it will result in a degraded/loss of service.

Make no mistake about, people on the 1Mb 3 GB limit go over the cap, and I'm taling about people who know little about computers, not people downloading copyrighted material. What is customer services explanation going to be when they phone up, we've trebled your speed but reduced the amount you can use it by a factor of 10?

I agree with you to a certain extent, people who download 24 hours a day should pay more for their service. What I fail to understand is why people are keen on caps unless they have a vested intrest in ntl in which case fair enough. If not, what the hell does it matter to you what people use their internet connection for?
