The previous cap thread has got rather long, so time for us to start again...
Summary of what has been said so far:
ntl's terms and conditions for broadband state the following:
Quote:
20.2 Data Usage
Nobody may use the Internet Services, either directly or indirectly in excess of the usage allowances set out in this section. Our Internet Services are intended for normal recreational or educational use by individuals and families and our pricing and network architecture have been designed accordingly. Customers who exceed the usage allowances applicable to the Internet Services may reduce the performance of the network for other customers.
In the event that you exceed the usage allowances applicable to your Internet Services, we reserve the right (at our sole discretion) to reduce, suspend or terminate your Internet Services. During any period of reduction or suspension, you will remain liable for the payment of your Internet Services charges at the original level. We also reserve the right (at our sole discretion) to re-grade your Internet Services to a different speed and/or usage allowance at the appropriate charge.
The following tables (which will be updated from time to time) set out the download speed, monthly usage allowance and price for ntl's Broadband Internet Services and ntl's Freedom Internet Services:
Broadband Internet Service

Ntl appear to be now enforcing the usage policy more strictly than previously- a number of members have reported having a letter about their usage - most of these people have been hitting over 100GB per month, although it has not been confirmed what level of data transfer triggers this letter being sent. An example of such a letter is here

Phlashman for scanning the letter].
Advice regarding bandwidth usage from ntl is available at
www.ntlworld.com/bandwidthadvice .
Ntl have also stated that they are launching new packages in the future, including a 10mb product with a 75GB/month usage allowance, and a number of unlimited products. Discussion of 10meg should take place in the thread
here.
Conclusions from the previous thread: some people are happy with the cap, some are not... so on that note... let the discussion continue
