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. |
You don't know that. For instance, I have been known to defend the cap, and have no vested interest in NTL. In fact, beyond the fact I am friends with people who work there (and obviously don't want them to lose their jobs), it really wouldn't affect me much if NTL folded.
Apart from that, if I found the Cap caused me problems, I'd be off.

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 ?

TBH, in all likelyhood, if two machines took the same IP, one (or both) of them would not be able to recieve or send and data (as the routers on the internet would have no way of knowing where to route the data).

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.

Agreed, I think, at the very least, NTL should have a download meter..
