With cable companies providing broadband the way that it is at present there will have to be usage restrictions of one sort or another applied in the not so distant future. Speeds of 10 mbps cannot be sustained with unlimited 24/7 usage. The merger of NTL and Telewest does not alter the physical capabilities of the system and usage restrictions would have to be applied to both companies customers even if they had not merged.
