Its probably been pointed out before, but the 1Gb a day is a usage guideline - nothing is set in stone that its a CAP, nobody has said you cant do 2GB or even more a day without impacting on others or getting cut off. NTL have said that they will contact excessive users IF their use impacts others - I'd of thought that - like with other ISP's - if you do your mega-bandwidth use out of peak hours you not going to be affecting others and shouldn't be affected.

Like many others, my use varies quite considerably from day to day, sometimes a few hundred megs or less, other times up to nearly 3G. I can't see this increased speed altering my use much, although time well tell if that happens in practice.
