It actually lists it as a "usage allowance", rather than specifying up/download limits.
But no there aren't. People who "need" to download 2GB per day are either doing something illegal, or need a business connection (or both).
That's true, but if your "use" of your internet connection is affecting others in your area, then it is ntl's business.
Your posts here clearly show your ignorance regarding me/us/this site, I suggest you do a little more research before you make sweeping statements like that.
I am totally against the ntl cap (& I don't even have ntl BB) because of the way they introduced it.
They sneaked it into their AUP late on a Friday afternoon, hoping no one would notice (except we leaked it), & then applied to all customers-new & existing &
that is why I (& others have an issue with it).
IMO, if you are going to change a service like that, then the change should only apply to new customers, & should also be well communicated & documented to them too (something that ntl are completely incable of), that way those customers can make an informed decision as to whether they want to sign up to an ISP with a cap. Existing customers should have been left "uncapped" IMO as that's what they signed up to.
It kinda reminds me of the old 'Mercury' mobile phone tariffs when they launched many moons ago. Youhad to buy the phone, but the tariff it came with was free evening & weekend calls (to landlines & mobiles I think)
There are plenty of people out there who still have this tariff & it costs T-Mobile (as they are now) a fortune, & those people regularly get contacted by T-Mobile offering them big wads of cash to sign a new contract on a different tariff (not surprisingly, no one takes them up on their "offer"!) & that's what I feel should have happened with ntl & their sneaky cap.
t wasn't so much the cap itself that was the issue, more so the way in which they chose to force it on new & existing customers in a sneaky, underhand way.
So, please don't make sweeping comments about me or my site members (lack of) knowledge of the internet, when most have been using it far longer than maybe you yourself have.
