I am sticking with 300k. The cap for 1 M is just too low.
Most of what I do can be done with 300k. I do download a lot of linux distros and linux live CDs. just a few days ago I downloaded Beatrix Linux, Knoppix live Cd and Mandrake Move. That alone would get me to nearly 3 GB. I will just kick off my downloads at night and be patient.

NTL is obviously playing with us in the hope that we upgrade to 2M or 3M. They may well loose out if competing 512k adsl products with unlimited caps start lowering their prices as appears to be happening.

I am no fan of adsl and prefer NTL (for their technology rather than their support). However, if adsl 512k unlimited cap is cheaper than 300k with NTL then I will move.
