There is no 4M ntl service. Having read your posts again I am convinced that not only have you have signed up with a provocative name - you appear to be here purely to spout rubbish and inflame this topic. If you have something sensible to say then please say it, otherwise you will be taking an early bath.
Let's face it, with this topic and the upgrade topic we were always likely to get flooded with new members who only want to cause problems because the cap is going to impact how much they can illegally share. If all the posts by the P2P crew were removed from this thread and the cap was discussed sensibly and properly then this thread would be half the length it is. Yes we know there are some "legal" ways of using a lot of bandwidth each month but we also know that there is one very easy way to use 60Gb+ a month
Personally I feel that the cap for the 1Mb service is too low, we'll monitor our normal usage and if we are encroaching on the cap too often we will have to look at what tier we are using. NTL have upgraded the BB speeds on numerous occasions for free, why should we moan too loudly about having to look at our usage to make sure we are using the right tier for us?

Agreed, if it is enforced that way. If it's enforced as an average over a period, or as 30GB a month, I have no problem. (I often download software as CD images from MSDN. One download can be 3 CDs = 1.8GB).
I think it's likely that the cap will be based on average monthly usage otherwise NTL will have a hell of a time policing the usage policy.
