Re: *all* ntl Cap Discussion (part 4)

I still find ntl's handling of this very bad, in addition to the lack of a time of day cap observe the following.

They are brainwashing people into thinking speed means more then content. I can forsee a flourish of people who want speed but use less downgrading next year when all 3 tiers are upgraded losing ntl revenue and this is how it is currently.

17.99 - 3 gig or 150gig
24.99 - 30 gig
37.99 (34.99) - 75 gig

Here is how I think it should be.

This is what I think should be not actual plans

17.99 - 512kbit unmetered or 2 mbit 10 gig cap (2 gig peak)
24.99 - 1mbit unmetered or 5 mbit 50 gig cap (5 gig peak)
37.99 - 2mbit unmetered or 10 mbit 150 gig cap (15 gig peak)
49.99 - 3mbit unmetered or 10 mbit 250 gig cap (30 gig peak)

Old rule of thumb there will be people taking up unmetered who wont rape it 24/7 so there is profit to be made there, and the higher prices add revenue for upgrades, 250gig isnt that competetive compared to llu competition but it at least is offset by the speed advantage over llu. Peak I would define as 4pm to midnight weekdays and 8am to midnight weekends.
