Ok I think my original guess of 150gig been the trigger for these letters seems a lucky guess, but dont start downloading 149gig assuming I am right because I may well be wrong.

Another question to ignition or ntl tech's in the know, is how would ntl react to a scenario where everyone on the ubr is under the 75gig cap but using bulk of their traffic around peak time so the ubr becomes laggy and congested at that time.

Will they.

(a) play the BT game tell customers its part and parcel of contention live with it.
(b) do upgrades
(c) decrease caps

This is the problem with a broad cap, a cap eg. of 30gig on peak 150gig off peak is much more effective then a broad cap of 75gig any time, and I still have my concerns, the low cap and massive increase in speed speaks high contention ratios.
