If the rumours of a uncapped service are true, then that's good news. But only if its a "real" uncapped 10 meg service...

A 42 minute HD show is about 10gig's worth, so its not difficult to reach 500gig real easily. Plus when iptv comes along, that will eat up bandwith like no tomorrow. Although, as I said in another thread, when the analogue tv networks are shut down, this should free up considerable bandwith for all.

Personally, I would be happy and would like the option to pay more for a "real" 10 meg uncapped service. Is it just a coincidence that the price of the 10meg service was lowered recently, possibly paving the way for a higher priced uncapped 10 meg service....?

With regards to ntl's network, I know ntl own their network(s), but its not national. I thought their national "traffic" was carried over Cable & Wireless' national fibre network.
