As I understand it, the UBRs already log how much data goes through them, and which MAC address is downloading that data.

I have it on good authority that NTL already do this to monitor how much each area is utilised.

They could use this data to enforce caps (and indeed, may already be able to).

Even if they don't have the software to collate this data, it would take a couple of hours to knock up a Perl script that could do it.
