Unlikely to happen IMHO, this would be like mobile phone companies putting you on the most appropriate package every month, part of the money making machine of any service company is people buying too much and not using it, that being inclusive minutes, discount tarrifs they don't use, tv channels they don't watch or bandwidth they don't use.
In the same way that mobile companies have a 60 inclusive minute tarrif and a 10,000 minute tarrif. NTL need tarrifs to match the entire user base.

More like using the 10 items or fewer line at the shop when you are not doing a weekly shop. Or using a motorway to drive a long distance, not a B road. Or sending something First class, not Second.
