i'm downloading most of the time (like my tunes) and dont agree with capping witch is why i havent, everyone thats upgraded to the 1 meg will get a 3gb cap!!!!!!, and theres no goingway back to 300kbs

Fluff capping

to CableForum..

AFAIK, the caps currently are not "Hard". In other words, NTL is not actively enforcing them. How do you know NTL will tell people they have gone over the cap AFTER the bill is paid? Asking more money was ONE option NTL were looking at.

Do u really think that sombody would download 100GB a day for the fun? he would have to spend 80 quid every day for a new hardrive. You are just being really unrealistic

Ignition has access to NTL's network usage stats, so is in a better position to make an educated guess than you or I. and judging by what I have seen posted both here and on NTHW.com, I can well believe there are people who would still max out the connection 24/7 purely because they can.
