Get real, LOL, the people with faster upgraded packages upgraded to bigger and faster packages because they "needed" the speed and they "wanted" the extra bandwidth. How many customers do you think have upgraded to a really fast internet connection and only use it for light surfing and reading email. (next to none) And how many of the people with 3mb packages do think are going to be happy using their connection for just 64 minutes per day LOL especially when the TV is covered with adverts for unmetered/unlimited connections.
Anyone that actually uses their internet connection for anything other than light surfing / email is going to break the barriers on a regular basis.
Anyone with a home network (parents + kids) is going to break the barriers on a very regular basis
Any normal teenager is going to break the barriers on a very regular basis.
So who is left? A dozen old age p
ensioners (no offence to the old intended) who would be better off with 56kb modems and I guess you.
I'm sure all 13 of you will be enough to keep NTL from going bankrupt.
