Going to another ISP is just delaying the inevitable.
The future of the internet is corporate control.
I'm all for websites like this and the EFF, but users stamping their feet didn't change ISPs capping policy. At the end of the day there are only a relatively small number of subscribers that know what caching, capping and shaping is all about. The majority only care about being able to access content and price.

but do you think it's fair, 10mb customers pay £35 a month, or more, for an "upto" 10mb package, 75gb cap fair enough i can live with that, but for ntl to then introduce traffic shaping at peak times with no notice, and i may be contridicting myself here, when most people use their connections, expecting the fast speeds only getting 1mb speeds and sometimes lower, it's really just quite a farce.
how do you expect people to react to this, just fall over and say ok whatever, or expect to get what they pay for at any time of the day or night.
someone mentioned earlier in this thread that it would improve online gaming, thats complete kak, I was play cod 2 at about 4pm today, with a ping on about 50ish, quit out, sorted my kids out came back to start playing again at about 7 ish, couldn't get on a server becasue my ping was too high when i did eventually get onto a server is was in the 200 - 300 range totally unplayable
come on ntl sort yourself's out give your customers a good service that they pay for and you wouldn't be on watchdog every week
