I suspect this is because theyve allready left,like I know a good 5 or so had done who spoke to me via PM's or I'd read the letters,doubtfull they'll come back here once leaving.
I also think alot of us have shut up about the cap because either like me
#1 they are waiting to leave,me personally as soon as the football season ends will look into what else is around
#2 because theyve settled with the 512k unlimited untill something better comes which ntl have stated will happen.
#3 ntl havent actually acted on what theyre getting,like I know some ntl users elsewhere havent been capped or sent letters.
I'm sure as hell people wont be happy in paying a £30+ pm package when other people they know on other isps have cheaper packages and theyre getting more use from them.And surely as net tv channels do get into streaming content which 2006 is looking likely and also more net based watch on demand services come out this will be the bulk of users who need more than 30-75gb per month.

also since ntl have stopped telling customers over the phone that "NO we wont ever use that cap against you,the cap is to bring us inline with other isps and will never be used" line,and actually starting telling people its capped.Probably bought them a few subscribers but also lost respect of others.Ive stopped recommending ntl to friends and family,having got easily over 10 users for their tv/phone and net package over my 5 or so years using them.
I feel we had a great run but now if someone says "your on ntl what do you think" I tell them its currently limited in what you can use,ntl from what I and other users can make out only want people who surf.
I guess the unlimited £18 a month isnt that bad.but I'm sure users could and will find cheaper and will find faster than 512k.The other packages people will need to watch their use,and for the money theyre paying I feel theyre better elsewhere.
