I do not have a problem with the idea of caps.
What I do not like is the way it has been specified in the AUP.
Instead of 1GB per day it should be a 30GB limit in any rolling 30 day period.
(your current total is of the last 30 days usage only)
That way I can do large downloads (Lunix distros/Service packs) on the day of release (likely going over 1GB per day).
This would be balanced out by normal surfing/email/avdefs for the remainder of the time (well under 1GB per day)
I would be happier if it was done like this. Using this method it is unlikely that I would exceed the limit.
Just an idea that's all.

There will be no problem if customers use 30Gb in a 30 day period with some days over the 1Gb and others under it. At least that is until NTL supply the means for customers to monitor their usage later in the year. They can already monitor everyones usage now but haven't got a pretty package for customers to use. The 1Gb a day stems from the usage guideline posted in the AUP for normal use. Really heavy users may now start to be contacted even though they got away with it in the past so don't think it is OK to max out 24/7 on the new speeds.
