Unhappy Re: [Merged] *ALL* ntl Cap Discussion In Here Please.

Yep its true, this is from the Nildram press release.:

News & Press Releases > Nildram addresses 'capping' issue with clear...
Nildram has introduced a fair usage policy as part of changes to its new broadband services, announced today1, to address the issue of heavy Internet usage and provide users with 'head-room' for downloading. To ensure that it is able to provide all of its customers with a continued high quality service, Nildram is introducing a usage limit of 50GB per month for non-business customers, which applies between 8.00am - midnight. Outside of this time, no usage limit will apply.

From July, customers that exceed the 50GB limit will still be able to continue their service at 64kb for the rest of their billing month or buy extra bandwidth at 99p per GB. Users that do not exceed their 50GB allowance will be able to carry over unused usage to the following month.

That was decided yesterday, they are however cutting the £44pm for 2 meg to £25pm.
Better off at Bulldog imo 4meg and a phoneline, no cap, for £39 pm.
Like someone said on here a while back [might have been Ignition] it looks like caps are being introduced across the board.
