Re: *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please (Part 2)

Paul really, a norway isp tried the same and lost 40%, like I said its example of company thnking its impossible that can happen but it will.

Dont even try comparing this to the introduction off the last cap since that isnt enforced.

NTL's arguments'

"We provide for the bulk of the customers not the minority"
My opinion taking advantage of people's lack of knowledge, there is so many users in this country who have broadband but use it for a purpose that dialup is fit for.

"We need these "LOW" caps to even make a profit"
Very hard to believe when I hear that NTL make 50% operating profit plus isp's all around NTL are offering peak time only caps or all day caps like 500gig month.

"We want piracy of our network"
I think all isp's do, but the solution isnt to try and brute force it off because innocent users get cuaght in the crossfire, for things like bittorent a upload cap would hurt a lot more.
This seems to be more trying to protect NTL's tv revenue.

Come on guys try and address these points.
