[patchwork]

I'm sure this has all been said before, but this is a long thread and reading it would use up too much of my download quota.

If NTL cannot handle people using the service they are paying for then they should not be doubling the speed of every ones connections, If NTL are overselling their product that is NTL's problem not the customers.

1GB per day is just a joke, if I was connected to BBC News 24 live video stream or any other video stream I would use tons more than 1 GB in a day.

On the NTL home page it says the service can be used for "Superfast surfing, Streaming music & video, Larger file transfers", well thats just BS. most games are DVD size nowadays, and getting bigger by the week, video streaming and TV / video on demand are growing in popularity, 1Gb per day is nothing.

I wonder how many customers purchased the fastest broadband package and had no intention of using its power. I'm sure a few have it for the "pose" factor, but most will have the bigger packages because they do download very big files and they do stream video etc...


Does anyone know how much bandwidth is used while playing online games?
I bet a few hours of gaming uses a fair bit of bandwidth, especially if you are using live voice communication and a webcam at the same time.

I guess I best start looking at other ISP's (just incase), I'm guilty of using the product I paid for.
