Telewest are able to offer unlimited because they have less customers, everything has been OK with NTL over the many years until very recently, you could download as much as you like and they couldn't care less. Its all about getting customers and once you have your user base you then cap the lot because most couldn't care less if they was capped or not as most just use the interent to read their e-mails, browse and shop online with abit of light downloads for gaming,video,ect.ect.

It would seem now that once the user base has grown to the point that limits are needed that they would rather kick off the higher usage user and replace them with 10 other Lite users, thats why they don't really give a **** about their customers who are now leaving as there will always be more joining, and I would say Eventually Telewest would have to follow suit rather than NTL go totally unlimited like Telewest, like most isp's are
