Sorry my friend, but NTL's cap has been well known and understood for a very long time now so the way they are treating you is not harsh. You have no excuse whatsoever. IMO you got away with it for too long anyway!
No hard feelings, but my sympathies are not with you, they are with the other poor subscribers on your UBR.  |
...well, can't believe how short-sighted you guys are. ntl may well have their rules, but to think that they are not draconian is unbelievable. The Beeb have already started VOD trials - how the hell are ntl going to keep up with such a pathetic service. So what are they going to do, "magically" find the available bandwidth in 6 months time and try and win their customers back? How stupid are they going to look? I suspect most users that can remain within the 75Gb limit would prefer to save themselves 20 notes and get the 512 unlimited. (Whilst at the same time signing up for ADSL and seeing what the competition has to offer.)
It''s clear that ntl are being far from consistant which shows them up for what they are - completely incompetent and not in touch with their customers, the service and the very near future requirements of broadband internet. I mean, they've even spoken of a 24Mb service and beyond - if things move as fast as they have over the last few years, we could see such services offered next year - what are ntl relying on here - keeping up with the Jones's but in reality not offering the whole deal? I'm not convinced that's for sure.
You're all bashing the big downloaders - which I agree with to a point - but as far as I see it your average downloader would be happier with a 521Mb unlimited service and save £20 per month rather than a limited super fast line.
