If no one bought into a capped rate service, how long would it last?

But people always will because the VAST MAJORITY of people look at 1gb per day and think 'no way will I ever get near that'.
I daresay if you fast forward a few years that might be different, but then ntl and other companies will move with the market.
Just look at how broadband has changed in the LAST three years. Three years ago £30 for 512k was considered an acceptable price...several ISPd were charging £29.99 back then. Imagine charging that much now for that speed.
The market will move, and ISPs such as ntl will move with it.
What nobody is going to do is create low cost services for people who *cough* "download 30 Linux distros a week" because it's simply not cost effective to do so.
