May I add a bit about the comment made "as long as they dont effect my Usage" - Do we agree that only users connected to the same UBR will effect a person useage yes? For example, if I use my connection full on for week on end (which I dont btw, just saying) - I would not be effecting a person lets say in Nottingham right?

Maybe my area is rather quiet but if the network was in such a bad state, then I would have expereinced a lot of slow downs in my 4-5 years of having NTL, yet no, I have not - but hang on the network is in a mess aint it? How can they say in one breath that there is not enough bandwidth to go around one minute and the next offering a free upgrade to a lot faster speed, both download & upload - was it not mentioned that Upload was the main Cause as there is not enough of it yet now we have a higher upload limit?

FuD comes to mind, spread enough and make it seem like its in a mess, then something like a restriction does not seem as bad maybe?
