The only way my service would improve is if the power users were dropped to a low tier .... with the threat of a permanant drop for repeated overuse. |
I don't think NTL have annonced what they will do, but the indication on this forum is that they will do exactly what you suggest, and for the reason you indicate - i.e. drop to a lower tier for the rest of the month. If there is sufficient demand, I suspect they may well introduce metered broadband and use the income to upgrade the hardware and put the metered users on a lower contention ratio. Just my thoughts though.
