So, any chance NTL will ever increase the limit? Why does NTL cap it so low? What is the technical/financial benefit of doing so, other than limiting the customers ability to use P2P properly?
PS. Sorry, should have been in the Broadband Discussion forum.

It's 200k on the 2Mbit and the whole problem is people using Bittorrent and the like and leaving it on all the time, for hours / days / weeks on end. Even with the big difference between upload and download speeds upload usage is close to download for a good part of the day and it's far from unknown for it to be higher in both some areas (the odd area it's higher pretty much all the time) and the network as a whole.
