You know this cracks me up it does. You see i am a grown up. I have no problem admitting that i use p2p and newsgroups. I have been known to download both legit and dodgy stuff

there i said it, quick phone f.a.s.t. What people download is there problem not mine. However the rules are the rules be it 1 gig or 30 gig and they have been in place for 2 years. So if you break them then you can expect NTL to enforce them if they decide to. As for upload yes there are legit reason for it to be faster but i bet you know if you could scan the network for types of traffic on the upload what do you think you would find ?
By the way i work for NTL however i am a customer just like you and what i do with my connection has nothing to do with my postion with NTL.
