Yes that's all well and good Neil, and I've no doubt what you say is true in most cases. However do you agree that the reason for imposing limits is to enable ntl to increase the number of people on it's netwok and not in any way due to concern of breach of copyright on other people's material? The only people who should be concerned about this are the copyright holders themselves, yet for some reason there's loads of people on here who are also bothered.

I only use about 5 GB per month yet I'm not in favour of caps. Apart from the fact that I may want to change my habits in the future, this is the thin end of the wedge. People are going to require more and more bandwidth in the future as files sizes get bigger. I'd expect people to be either against the caps or apathetic, not actively in favour.
