Not realy ntl's problem if the entire family have different tastes in downloading dodginess to be honest, either deal with it or move elsewhere, that's your choice and right.
Being frank again extreme downloading isn't necessary by anyone for any reason, those who do are likely to be
a) Unemployed chavs with nothing better to do than leech and watch movies / play games / watch porn and masturbate 24x7.
b) Hoarders with an obsession to download the internet, which is more of a mental issues thing or:
c) Ignorant people who don't even hoard the stuff and just download because they 'pay for it 24x7 and should use it as such'.
Note my use of the word extreme before you jump on me. Even a couple of hundred gigs a month can be used depending on what you're downloading, but when you get into the hundreds it just gets silly.
Anyway even those of you on 512k download have a somewhat faster service than me, a certain company having completely fecked up my order I'm now without any high speed internet until 16th December.

Haha yeah but you are bringing up the extremes there, I think there needs to be better catering for people who might need to download say 75-150 gig a month.

What I am finding frustrating is I would expect an isp that doesnt bother with caps to let things go to pot when they upgrade speeds (demon great example) but if an isp has caps set I expect them to maintain a good quality connection in return for caps been upheld. But ntl are going to pot anyway, numerous paths are saturated causing obscene lag, I have downloaded less then 5 gig during the last 2 weeks and have have varied results one download has gone faster then I would have got over my old 2mbit during peak time (creative driver download) everything else has been WORSE ssh lag, ftp downloads etc. Web browsing is about the same since when you reach 256kbit it doesnt feel any faster as you increase speed.
I keep saying it again and again, the caps need to be time of day based, if ntl cant do that they need to get their finger out spend some £ÃÆ ’‚£Ãà¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£ and upgrade their peering connections so when I want to use my 75gig it is at least better then my old speed.
Ntl most of my downloading when done is non http traffic this means external, please allow me to use it at a decent speed outside of twilight hours thank you.
