Is 1mb/2mb truly unlimited and if so are they putting/allowing users back on those tiers who were put onto 512 unlimited as a punishment for going over the caps? If not then why not? If they really are serious about 1/2mb unlimited and have the capacity to support truly unlimited usage for those two tiers then surely there wouln't be a problem with moving those users back up and indeed gaining more revenue from 2mb. I have a feeling there will still be a get out clause in the T&C's that allows NTL to dump you if you use too much bandwidth. Sounds like they've dumped the majority of very heavy users on 512 or they've left and now can offer "unlimited" servers to the remaining people who don't use that much capacity anyway. Call me synical but that's the only explanation I can think of for such a radical turn-around.
