If you could drive past a police car on the motorway at 150mph without them attempting to stop you, how many people would drive at 70mph? You can hardly complain of ther morality behind something if NTL clearly don't care enough to do anything about it. |
A couple of points.
In order to fully understand how people use the internet you have to allow them unrestricted use over a very lengthy period. This gives you valuable data to decide what pricing points and usage allowances should be.
NTL may not want to appear heavy handed by going after customers who exceed their usage allowance without having a means of checking what their usage is.

Maybe I want to buy half life 2 and download it via steam...
half life 2 from steam 4gb
So in total 32gb without any warez or dvd rips in site and there's plenty more where that came from on the newsgroups. If you maxed out the current 3mb connection you could probably do that in a day, on a 10mb connection it would take about 8 hours.

Well that's 24 Gb of illegal downloading for starters.

Other peoples use may not directly affect my usage of my connection but can result in increased costs for NTL which myself and all other customers have to pay for.
