well thought i'd just share my atempt at finding and alternative provider with you all...
I'm about to eat some humble pie here so no flaming please, as i posted in part two of this thread i received a letter with regards to my usage (which i hasten to add i was not incensed about) and decided that i would seek solace somwhere where i wasn't going to be subject to capping.
I phoned ntls' cs and explained the situation and the guy on the end of the phone was very helpful and did as i asked and set me up for disconnection, at that point i started browing for deals and came across onetels unlimited 2mb service plan which i signed up for.
Job done you may think, cut to three weeks later or so and last weekend my ntl service halted so i atempted to set up the onetel kit that had been delivered a few days previous and guess what.. NO DICE!!! the knobbers at onetel hadn't even done a line test to see what if any connection i would get, needless to say i was more than a little upset and after 40 mins of talking with incompetent or indifferent indian call centre staff i finally lost the plot and demanded that my contract was terminated.
the guy at the end of the phone said this can be done but i would get a fifty pounds charge for terminating early, so i went down the bank monday morning and cancelled all their direct debits (see em in court i guess!!), Anyhow to cut a long story short i phoned ntl and asked to get reconnected which was done in a flash, and now i promise to be a good boy and play by the rules..
better the devil you know, bring on the unlimited packages
