Unless you pay more for your connection than a single person you can't really expect to be treated any differently.
Downloading games doesn't use much really, sounds more like you're downloading for the hell of it, you said as much, which won't change ntl's mind it'll just get you reduced to the 512k tier at best if not kicked off the service entirely.
In any case those people who don't know how to secure their wireless aren't their ISP's problem, those who have multiple people using the connection aren't the ISP's problem.
I have 3 people who use the net in this household including myself, however I pay the same as a single man, or a family of 10 and don't expect any different treatment. Regardless of how many use it to the ISP it is
one connection, governed by
one contract.
