so what you're saying is as NTL own their network, there is no justification for a comparison with other ISPs that traffic shape where they dont own their network.
No, I'm not.




So why do they have caps?

Well before the recent upgrades, to cover themselves to boot off people who eat resources and degrading service for others would be a good guess.

Now, because current local infrastructure struggles with many on 10mb. The mere fact that they blabbed about 50mb, 100mb etc, shows that the local networks are going to have to change to support it and hopefully alleviate the current teething problems of oversubscription of higher tier users.

I doubt its your idea of the case of peering arrangements are costing them that they have to cap people to what they are, otherwise you would be seeing that happening with the practically unlimited LLU providers and other unlimited providers on the continentent.
