just a few there, VOIP is coming along well, then there will be movie rentals to come.
no im not saying (it sucks), im merely pointing out that 75GB is a bit on the low side, ukonline has 300GB for 8mbit, i would prefer it to be about 150GB i think thats fair for both sides.

...A one-hour call contains 70 to 80 MB of data, with data transmissions typically approaching 70 Kb per second and per direction (upstream and downstream)...

so if you're on the phone 4 hours per day each month then you will use approx 10gig of your monthly allowance.
uk online - the monthly allowance is 500gig not 300! but they aren't as comparable to NTL as say Nildram as ukonline are currently available in 4 million uk home of which I wonder how many would be able to get 2mb let alone 8mb!

nildram offer a 50gig monthly 'fair usage quota'. shocking as I believe 6 months ago this was 150gig! which suggests high allowances are not commercially viable.
and remember this - the adsl suppliers require a BT line - which forces a compulsory £10 monthly extra on your costs. and only a select number of BT lines will get 8mb.

and it's worth reminding everyone that ukonline HAVE a 8mb service whereas NTL's 10mb service is currently unavailable.
