See post #1353. As it happens, it doesn't affect me, because AFAIK no-one else on my street is maxing their connection, but with a 20:1 contention, maxing your connection will impact on your neighbours. I presume this is why the current 'soft' caps are only enforced if you are having a detrimental effect on other users. However, a 'hard' cap is fairer, as it does not then depend on your neighbours' usage and how many customers NTL happens to have in your area.
[Edit] Kits has already made the same point
