Just shocking really... that theres still no word on major hardware updates that are so needed for NTL's network.

*Sigh*
So have any of the ADSL providers introduced capping or traffic shaping? How about other ISP's in other parts of the world?
At the end of the day you cannot expect Ntl or Telewest to throw huge amounts of money at their networks to ensure everyone can download vast amounts of data, chat for hours on Voip calls and stream enough video to make you go blind.
Like it or not Ntl/Telewest are
NOT specialist ISP's who will provide a clean, uniterrupted internet feed. They are mass-market providers and they will react to what they feel the majority wants. If that involves shaping traffic to reduce P2P to a trickle then thats what they will do.
