...I really would like to know who those people are that really need a 10Mb line with a 75Gb cap. Are you really all that impatient you need your downloads that quick? If you're the type of person who does, the chances are you'll want more and as such the cap will be a hinderance.
I just wish some of the ntl backers and supporters here would at least acknowledge the fact that this cap fiasco is anything but organised? It's inconsistant, unprofessional and shortsighted. I've always backed the abolishement of users who are raping the service but clearly ntl's motive appears to be one of trying to provide a service as cheap as possible with low maintenance requirements.
Why do you think Telewest offered an uncapped service - because the majority of it's customers wanted it. Now I'm not saying that this was a wise move - but it is certainly a popular one. You can go on until the cows come home about fair usage and dubious content downloads, but if there wasn't the material there in the first place, do you think ntl would have a market to sell it's services to? No chance!
The Beeb have already opened trials of it's iMP service which if it goes live next year, ntl will have little or no chance of providing a service under it's current capping regime. I'm sorry, but as ntl have said it's going to be well into next year before they can offer 10Mb to everyone, by then there maybe more VOD services available so how are they going to service them if they potentially going to access such sites?

..it's called one rule for one and one rule for another! You're obviously the type of person that subscribes to this sort of mentality then? Without this bulletin board users would be oblivious to these facts - and ntl obviously believe that its customers are oblivious anyway which grates with me somewhat to be treated with such contempt.
