If you seriously consider the recent moves to be a giant step backwards, you really do need to find another ISP.

I play Xbox Live all the time when I am at home and I always have my internet connection on, for a very good reason and I should not be bullied into having caps. I pay the money and so I have right's.
NTL ***** you

You have rights? What rights would these be? The right to bugger up the service everyone else? What about everyone else's 'rights'?
You've been watching too many consumer programmes.
I'll remind you and everyone else who shares your view what the ONLY reason a company like ntl is in business for. The ONLY reason, is to make a profit. Users who want to max out their connections consititute the minority, but they cost the company money. In other words, there is no profit in having you on the service. Therefore the only 'right' you have is to the 30 days notice ntl will give you when they terminate your contract, if you continually exceed the bandwidth limit.
Too many people seem to think private companies have some of sort of moral and solcial obligation to do certain things. They don't. Any customer is free to choose another provider if they aren't happy with the one they currently have. That, again, is the capitalist system.
If you don't like the capitalist system, go and live in Russia.

My question to all of you is .... do you think ntl will even really bother going thru all this for sub 1000 users as indicated by scrotnig's comments ?
Personally I think not ... there is something else and I will bang my drum ... why cap the download when the upload has more of an effect on the network.

I could be wrong here, but I read somewhere that it had been established that the cap covered uploads as well. Could be wrong though.....
