Perhaps it is something unique about the Internet but I, and I suspect many others, feel that we are not just customers or users of ISP's but actually co-owners of the first truely "free" international resource. Because of this we defend the key principles embodied by it.
The arguements we make against things like Caps and other issues apply equally to all ISP's as if we allow NTL to change a key aspect like capping without objection that cancer will spread. Better to fight our ground now than just sit back and let them get away with it as this will only encourage others to follow suit.
That said In a way I have already voted with my feet by standing still rather than making the move to the 1 meg service. I am on the original £19.99 deal as I own my own modem so there is really no advantage at all in my upgrading until NTL allow me to make full use of the extra bandwidth, Simply being able to download the same content a little faster does not make ecconomic sense.
