I hope UK Online thrives from companies that treat their customers like fools.

I doubt you'd have to have them in your little area. You'd just need enough within the total area (not just your little bit) to swamp the exchange's backhaul connection to the network.
If UK online takes off then that MAY be a problem in some areas.
Anyway, I will repeat my little bit of advice to anyone who has problems with NTL's cap. If you can, go to an ADSL supplier. UK online is looking pretty good, but even if they are not, there are plenty of ADSL suppliers out there. This is exactly what I am going to do if the cap causes me problems (or if NTL don't get their ar$es in gear and launch a PVR, but that's another story).
I've said it before, and I am going to say it again. If enough people leave NTL, they will get the hint that something is wrong. All the while that the number of customers joining is greater than the number leaving, they'll just put it down to customer churn (I think it's called).
