Bye bye.
No, the cap is the punishing of customers because NTL CAN'T manage their network properly,if it was about being equitable, then surely they would provide higher limits off peak to try and avoid congestion at peak times, rather than just limiting everyone to 30Gb?

30Gb in this day and age is nothing much IMHO, The latest full distribution (32 & 64 bit) of Suse Linux is 9.4 Gb, or 1/3 of your limit with one download :lol:

30Gb @ £37.99 (£1.26 per Gb) for NTL compared to
500Gb @ £24.99 (£0.04 Per Gb) for UKonline or unlimited for £24.99 (0.00 Per Gb) (bulldog, pipex, demon) etc
I can't see how £1.26 per Gb compared to the either of the above is a "fair cap at the price"
