That is my understanding from the information given during opt-out - who knows what will happen in real life!

I have just opted out from the 1MB upgrade.
It is a shame that NTL focuses on the high bandwidth users/abusers and yet does nothing to reward those users who use their service sensibly and not break their caps. These sensible users are therefore indirectly subsidising the abusers of the NTL service.
I am continually checking other ISPs and will not hesitate to switch if NTL does not measure up.
My current view is that even at 300 kB the NTL service is technically very good which is why I am not switching yet.
However, as a few people have already pointed out, other ISPs are now upping the stakes. If NTL do not do anything about the 1MB with ridiculously low 3GB CAP, they may find that these sensible users may/will end up switching.

I also have a question regarding this "Brief period" of 1 GB with 30 GB CAP before bieng returned to 300 KB with 30 GB CAP for those opting out of the 1MB 3 GB upgrade.
Does anyone have any idea how long this "Brief Period" will be?
