I disagree with them.
I'm all for caps - I like my service nice and fast, without the 24 x 7 bandwidth hogs who feel the need to download the entire internet each month. Caps are the obvious way to limit such people - and if it drives them away from ntl then even better.

You know - it is perfectly possible to post a point without resorting to swearing and abusive language - you should try it sometime.

What rights would that be then ? You have all the rights that that the AUP gives you - which is a capped service if they decide to impose it. ntl are providing the service and can restrict it in anyway they see fit. The only right you have is to leave and find another ISP - and you will find it increasingly difficult to find one that doesn't impose some sort of usage limit.

Why ? - if you were running a business and a small percentage of customers were using so much resources that they were affecting the rest of your customers, and losing you money, would you spend even more of your profits on them, knowing you won't make any money from them anyway - or would you take steps to reduce their usage, or even get rid of them. I know which I would do.
