People are leaving already, 2 have posted here already and I'm fairly sure more will follow if they continue to enforce the cap.

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?

We can but hope, as for the board, I don't know what they are doing, I don't attend NTL board meetings, do you? If so, please tell us what they ARE doing

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?

I have switched, and I wasn't moaning, I was disappointed that NTL put me in a position where I felt I had no choice BUT to leave, or are you now saying that it's OK to talk to heavy users like **** because they have transgressed a rule that they never agreed to in the first place? I don't "get off" on moaning, in fact looking back I don't see where I did moan, I stated my reasons for leaving, and backed them up when you posted. I'm sorry if YOU didn't like it, but there ya go

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.

I HAVE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BETTER DEALS which part of that do you not understand? My service did work very well, and it's a shame I have to leave, but in all honesty do you expect me to feel sorry for NTL being left near bancruptcy?? I couldn't care less if they go bancrupt, other than feeling sorry for the GOOD employees that will lose their jobs. It shouldn't be down to the customers to pay inflated charges though because NTL made some ****-poor business decisions should it?
