We are going to do this, we are the 1st to do so, but by the time you have it - everyone on other isps will have it also and much cheaper and no caps
Come On NTL get a grip and actual do something instantly, compulsive and make us all happy.
and we ain't talking about cornflakes, baked beans and toast either!

If you read my post correctly you would see that it wasn't actually defending NTL but pointing out that claims being made by ISP's can appear to mean one thing but reality can mean that they mean something completely different. An ADSL ISP may offer a 8Mb package but that doesn't mean you are going to get 8Mb all the time and you may never get anywhere close to 8Mb. A unlimited, uncapped service means that you can only get what your connection speed allows, what the systems that you are connecting to allow you to have and what other users sharing any part of your connection to those systems allow you to have.Think about putting a cake on the centre spot at Old Trafford on a match day when the ground is full to capacity. You could make a tannoy announcement that all spectators can have an unlimited amount of the cake but how much do you think each would get?
If NTL was to "get a grip and actual do something instantly, compulsive and make us all happy" they would hold back on the news until everything was ready and then you would be complaining that they could have let you know earlier what was being planned.
