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.
