With ntl currently only providing up to 3mb with a 1gb cap, and the adsl suppliers doing 8mb in plusnets case for £14.99 a month for a 1gig cap, or 39.99 for an 8mb unlimited connection, why would i want to donate my cash to ntl ? why would anyone ?.

Because heavy users who flock to uncapped ADSL ISPs may find poor service or caps pretty quickly if all the heavy users flock with them....

....and I think you are grossly overestimating the number of people who will be affected by or care about the 'caps'....

Nobody is stopping anybody leaving for a 'better' deal least of all NTL and if you are so convinced leaving is the right thing to do then go........ and look for an ADSL forum to moan in when your ISP offers bad service, introduces caps or even worse uses 'Fair use' or 'Excessive usage' to end your contract before you want to leave them

We'll leave it a few months and then start a welcome back to NTL thread for you
