Ignition, ok point taken but the idea that it will catch the main abusers still not valid in your opinion either?

If its valid, then surely its a way forward that is easier to manage

if its not valid maybe i should start getting the p2p programs on my machine, something i have refused to let on my machine. Although i have allowed mirc and this is a chat program and used it to enter the irc channel of cableforums.co.uk

So Just to clarify for my mind....

Upload is not a problem anymore so ntl is would not be interested in people maxing out the upload but if I wish to use my connection to catchup with stuff that is potentially where ntl have a problem with me

I actually got the internet connection to download and now ntl would like me not to use that side because of the needs of other users (even if I don't go over the cap).

Who is ntl really after with this policy ... perhaps I read and guessed it wrong but "Heavy Users" being there using it 24/365 then maybe I thought that ppl that use the p2p programs were the targets and I guess not.

Seen as the arguement by many that these connections in this thread are potentially being used for illegal uses then surely this side of many peoples arguement including my own earlier posts will fall and as this seems to be the main arguement from some on this forum at throws a spanner in that arguement surely?.

Personally I do not like the idea of caps for an unlimited service - sold as an unlimited service but with the right communication this could have been so much less emotional for many. Splitting the service down into Limited and Unlimited may have been a better way forward in my opinion but I guess that would be too logical. limited is standard and unlimited you have to pay more for.
