As a 300k user I agree with chrysalis. I cannot see myself taking up the 1M option with a 3GB cap. I am a patient sort and I will stick on 300k.

Most of what I do can be done fairly well with 300k. As for downloading large files (Mainly Linux ISOs in my case). I will just have to leave the downloads running overnight and all day till they finish as I do now.

I would rather they had raised the speed to say double and kept the same 30 GB cap. 3 GB is too small a cap.

One would have thought that if NTL wishes to be competetive then they would keep an incentive in there for those of us who are not speed merchants. If an ADSL provider comes up with an improved offer (as I am sure they will) people like me will probably be tempted to move.

Finally for those staying on 300k with 30GB cap, will NTL reduce their charges? I have not seen such an indication, so I assume not. This will in the end be a further disincentive to stay if a better option were to come from the ADSL camp.
