They have just amended the AUP probably in the hope that no one would notice-if ntl have nothing to hide & are willing to stand tall behind their traffic shaping, then why not just come out & announce what they are doing?

No, instead they just change the AUP & hope no one will notice.

As Frank says, clearly they haven't learnt their lesson from last time.

Or you could just have said "yes", exactly as I said it

A change like this is important to announce in some way, especially after what happened last time in 2003, because it impacts customers. Because they are unaware that shaping is intentional, they are trying to fix what they think is a problem. That is not good customer service.

For the record, no I don't think that ntl should send an email to every single customer simply because this change doesn't impact all customers. Perhaps ntl's system should generate emails to particular customers when their traffic is being shaped? At the end of the day, ntl employ many communications people, and they should be able to figure the customer communication plan out for themselves. When I worked there, they didn't listen to me in terms of customer communication, and probably still don't listen to half their communications people.

The bottom line is that some kind of proactive communication should have occurred because the customer experience is affected and the customer has no idea why. Customer service 101.
OK, then does cable forum know of the reasons why ntl have done this, has it been communicated to you guys?
