I'm not a major gamer (but how the hell am I supposed to be on NTL's service!!!). But I do try and play online when I get the chance. The main problem that I have is that obviously we know that there is a problem, NTL know that there is a problem, but they are refusing to sort the problem out. Now... as far as I'm concerned the fact that NTL are not trying to sort this issue out tells me that they are not prepared to provide the service that we are paying for. At the end of the day, online gaming is just data flowing through their networks, so if there is a problem with this, then there is a problem with their service! If they don't try and sort this out then they are in breach of their own T&C's, as they are not trying to fix the issue... In theory, all online gamers that subscribe to NTL's service could take them to court to force them into sorting this issue out... I wonder is someone sorted out some sort of petition regarding this, backed up with legal representation, would NTL then do something about it. Just think of that negative press they would get...

Oh and BTW, once the caps are in place, it's gonna get worse as all the P2P users will just switch to this to make sure they can keep their stuff flowing...
