I have been a customer with NTL for 3 years now, I have always supported NTL with there prices and there special packages. Until I received a shock about NTL capping there broadband. In my household I have 5 computers connected to the net on a network. 3 computers are mine for my music productions and website and graphic developement. My wife has a laptop always online like myself. My daughter has a computer. I am really shocked at NTL for this capping. If I understand right with NTL they nearly went bankrupt, now they changed things with these special packages at the right price, them loosing money is not our fault. Also there excuse on other broadband users may have difficulties in using there broadband due to people like me and my household who are constantly online doing what we have paid for in the service. I even wanted to move to telewest 4 months ago but i found out i could not as they were not in my area even tho NTL owns Telewest... I found out from my website host that they do broadband connections with free migration but u need a bt line. but they are fast and still unlimited. Also I know BT are very strict too and do not always allow u to come onboard with BT if u have no credit history. but I will be doing this, I will be moving to www.fasthosts.co.uk if NTL don't pull their fingers out of there backside. The reason we all use NTL is there value for money and packages.... I am sure there will be a major percentage of customers they will loose and BT will gain those percentages for the BT lines to get other isp's thru BT lines.... Also think about this where will our DATA PROTECT ACT be dropped or changed since all this is really aiming at the the people who use p2p file sharing programs. Myself & the family have been discussing this situation of NTL for a week now & starting to think what we should do if this effects us in using over 1GB per day... But we will use www.fasthosts.co.uk cause they are a favourite for me on webhosting so I am sure there broadband has an excellent 24/7 service too. I am sorry if some disagree with me, but NTL was is still atm a free care enviroment with no spying from the isp's.......

One more thing we could move to sweden hehehehe May NTL rest in peace if they stick to this capping even when its brought up in House of Commons...

Now this 3MB upgrade from NTL is tempting but will I be penalized heavily for using over 1GB per day as me & my household computer are online constantly 90% of the time....
