Re: *ALL* ntl Cap Discussion Here Please.

ntl: home's broadband and dial-up services are intended for normal recreational or educational use by individuals and families and our pricing and network architecture have been designed accordingly. Customers who use the services more heavily than a normal home user will reduce the performance of the network for other customers.

"Normal use" of the service is defined as up to 1 gigabyte downstream of data transfer daily (which equates to approximately 200 music tracks, 650 short videos, 10,000 pictures or around 100 large software programmes downloaded per day).

It doesn't explicitly say not to use p2p, not to max out upload or not to distribute Linux 24/7 though.. it's just the usual vague stuff about not exceeding reasonable usage etc.
So on the basis it doesn't explicitly mention p2p, linux, or maxing out the connection .... the AUP doesn't apply to you, or just that you choose to ignore it.

The AUP INCLUDES the "Normal Use" definition, and so by so obviously breaking the Normal Usage guidelines, you break the AUP.
