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"

I thought you were off?
How can NTL be punishing people by providing a particular service and charging what they think the market will bear? If they are wrong folk will leave to find other providers and they'll adjust their strategy. If they don't then they will go out of business. It's not like the board are falling off their chairs with laughter at the caps having lured innocent grannies in off the street, is it?
You don't know what the economics of the provision of the service are so you don't know how sustainable the other deals are, but as you point out there
are more attractively priced packages for what you want, so why are you complaining? Would it not make more sense for you to sign up to these great deals and come back and gloat at the rest of us? Or is it the moaning that you get off on?
It's one thing to complain about a service that doesn't work, or you haven't had any warning about changes to. It's another to complain up to the wire that what's coming isn't fair and how much better other deals are if you don't get on your bike and take advantage of them. The infractructure costs that left all of the cable companies near bankruptcy and huge debts are beginning to payt off, but the debts are still there and they are corporate entities, in it to make money, for themselves and shareholders, not to hand out freebies.
