The limits themselves defenitly are on the low side as I already stated previously if the limits were imposed as 20:1 contention it would be nearer to a 160gig cap, but their are 3 reasons why I think they are much lower.

1 - They are any time of day caps and as most people use their net in the evenings, unless their is going to be an off peak cap then limits will have to be treated with higher contention in mind.

2 - The contention levels I think are now going to be much higher then 20:1 and ntl seem confident the usage patterns will be low enough for this to not become a problem. Noone has yet responded to my question of what will happen if a ubr hits congestion and noone using it is above the cap.

3 - Profits, lower limit = more overage charges, the previous limit of 30 gig was low but that was just a guideline. I would expect when all this is rolled out the caps will be hard caps and overage charges will be a possiblity.
