A private company does not have ANY responsibility to tailor its services according to whether there's any competition.
I sincerely hope some of the posters to this thread never go into business. Wonderful and Utopian though your ideals may be, the UK economy doesn't work like that.

If you think we live in a free market economy under the New Labour government you are mistaken sir. The 'market' is soon going to screw ntl right in its rectum  . |
I fail to see the relevance of this post to what I had posted.
If ntl are about to get screwed for introducing caps, then it's very bad news for the likes of BT, Wanadoo, Nildram, PlusNet, Tiscali, Brightview and many others.
Or are caps only a problem when it's an excuse to bash ntl?
I'll repeat for what feels like the eightieth time: members of this forum need to stop thinking they are 'typical' broadband users. They aren't. ntl alone has over a million broadband customers. I daresay other providers have similar numbers. In all these cases, the vast, overwhelming majority of users have no problem with it because they never get near.
Wanadoo and Tiscali alone report massive, massive demand for their entry level services...with a 1gb cap!
So why is ntl's entry level service going to be so bad with a 3gb cap?
