"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).
* Excludes customers who subscribed to ntl's 1 Mb Broadband service with 3 Gigabyte monthly usage allowance on, or after, 8th March 2005. For more information about the 3 Gigabyte monthly usage allowance that applies to this service

In other words;
The 3GB per month usage limit on the new 1M service is both upload & download.
The 1GB per day usage guide on the new 2M & 3M services is download only.
HTH.
