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?
It matters, because customers do NOT have the right to **** and moan about things like the cap, when all they want to do is illegally download.

The 3gb/imeg service is daft, I agree. But still, no-one has answered my question about why you need more than 1 gig a day to do regular, residential service internet activity.
