sorry chris w and fellow cf admins/mods,you run a fair site keeping users comments intact,ive had a bummer of a bank holiday period and wrongly took my frustrations out on sections of members here who have different opinions than me.

I have watch these threads with interest and find it funny so many like or think caps are ok and that most will be happy with them

Well most here who defend the cap are people with vested interest in ntl,and would sooner their customers use their connections for surfing websites alone.

AOL only offer the £24.99 1 Mbps Gold service over NTL cable.

I pay £24.99p m on the top of a tv-phone package that boosts it to around the £85pm mark and only get the 1.5mb 30gb cap service <*cough*>hehe not untill they hardcap me,or suspend me when I'll be taking my custom elsewhere<*/cough*> as Ive the old pace box.
Ive spent an average of £1020 per year thats around £4080 over the four highly happy years (mainly at the OK for me unlimited 750k level) not much is it put next to the debt ive read ntl have,but its money all the same & money I'd sooner spend on a service I would be happy with instead of the silly giving with one hand speed increases and taking with the other hand download cap.
On another issue Ive been speaking with an ntl service man about the caps,he mentioned that theres been real problems with people sharing the same ips because a mess up in the manufacture of set-top boxes I think.I'm no tech geek and know its just clutching at straws from my end and is just another anti-cap moan really,but can anyone back if this is the case up and if it would give false readings on users stats ?
I guess untill we have a means of testing what we use over multiple machines our self,then we cant know what we are using.Maybe I'll have to give my kids bedrooms their own 5gb cap limit.I did try with netlimiter but it reset the bloody stats when I turned off and restarted my PC.
