Sorry it looks like you in for a bad shock, I personally know 30 or so people who use more then 40 gig a month, I find it very hard to believe that I know 20% of ntl's users that this will affect. I would expect it to be more like 50000 out of 1million who go over 40gig or 30gig on the bottom tier. Then of course their will be users who dont use that amount but for other reasons they wont want such a cap so of course thats more, and the bottom tier they may be people who was eg. 512kbit for under £20 a month but more then 5 gig a month, can NTL provide this? no?

I can see NTL losing about 10-20% of their broadband customers from this due to mixture of bad publicity/going over cap/better deals elsewhere, this just shows the arrogance if you believe you are invincible and people will just accept it once they KNOW ABOUT IT.
