Well they are been cheap on the external traffic side of things but dont want to admit it. How many customers do ntl have 1.4million? and I heard ntl have around 8 gig of transit available. (this may be wrong and if someone "knows" I am wrong feel free to correct me with the actual amount of transit), this is from someone who works @ ntl. Now I know of some small isp's that have around 5 gig of transit and they certianly dont have 1.4million customers or anywhere near that amount, 8 gig is not a big number, if you have say 8000 1mbit users pushing for traffic at the same time that alone requires 8 gig of transit, so if you work out 20:1 that would be suitable transit for say 160000 1mbit users and even at 50:1 its 400000 still well below a million.
