Heaven forbid, someone with an internet connection that they actually want to use.
The cap isn`t going to solve this particular problem for you. If a customer can still download a gig a day there will still be periods of time when your connection is going to be affected by big downloads. But frankly, it does sound like you and NTL are just trying to act as IP police via the back door when arguments such as this are trotted out, it's that same, very tired narrow focus on illegal downloads which acts as nothing but a smokescreen around the real issues.
I would suggest that the massive downloaders in your areas co-ordinate their efforts, as soon as one has hit their daily limit the next one starts off, then you'd see how little validity there is in your argument.

Ah, but as an NTL employee you may talk to customers, but do you listen?
