Who's going to bother with 10Gb when you can hardly use it - seems absolutely pointless to me. As has been said a multitude of times before, speed isn't a factor for surfing webpages -I couldn't care less whether I have a 512Mb line which loads a page in x.xx seconds, but could have a 10Mb line that loads then in y.yy seconds. IN the real world the difference is negligable. The only real beneft of increased speed is lower download times and if you've got such a crap cap, the far cheaper 512 service will get you all you require albeit in a longer time frame (but if you're organised does this really matter?)

I'd like to know who's going to pay £20 more for a 10Gb service when it is so severly pegged back? I can see ntl only backtracking on this in the months to come - and by then I will have upped shop and gone - too little too late IMHO.
