The i can legally download argument is total ****** yes you can but there is a cap so no you cant deal with it or go find anither ISP that will allow it. That is untill they have the same problems as NTL with the bandwidth being raped by the serial downloaders .. rant over  Flame away..... |
I understand why ntl & their employee's are pro caps,theyre in it for the money but someone whos happy to get what most likely will be the same package (in your case speeds where bad,even though by the sounds of it everyone else is happy with their speeds) but capped amount for what you was getting uncapped is just stupid sounding to me.
Basicly your an anti anyone whos not a lone user,like ive bashed my head against the wall more than once here,that slight speed decrease you are having is probably you live in a family area and not like you say serial downloaders.I understand your frustraitions but surely you must understand the ntl package is aimed at familys who like me have various computers in their bedrooms.Theyre more than happy to charge me for disney even though I don't have sky movies at an extra £6 per month and I get full cartoon package ontop of that,they cant be happy with familys for their cable yet not net services surely.
I can't see how you Doofy or other none ntl employees actually gain from being pro cap anyway.Everyone whos unhappy will move on (allready happening and as the soft to hard cap goes on maybe this will rocket even more so as the ntl salesteam cant keep selling new packages for,I'm sure once theyre marketing the capped package clearly interest will plumet even quicker)
So now your slightly slowed down speed gets better,yet what the hell you gonna use your new found speed for when your capped,1mb doesnt take long to reach 3gbs & 2-3mbs doesnt take long to reach 30mbs.And as numbers who are subscribing to whole packages take their custom elsewhere your bill will surely rise.
How are you gaining exactly,ohh that google page opens a second or two quicker.Because thats all that your package could be used for websurfing.
Maybe a bright idea by ntl would be to lower peoples cost who only surf down so its inline with other cheap entry level net packages around £15pm,a nd leave their existing happy not knowing what mumbo jumbo is in the T&C's happy.Unless they wanna start hearing the deafening sound of large numbers of its users playing Bob Marley's Exodus.
