ntl like bt wholesale have costs of around 10-20p per gig, a user downloads 100gig it costs ntl £20 in bandwidth costs not £200. Of course it is a different matter if usage patterns are causing a ubr to be saturated and money is spent on upgrades, but even these upgrades are one of costs and so are can be recuparated. NTL are lacking a £50 product with a 150gig limit, and yes that is profitable for a isp of NTL's size.
