It's an NTL-style CAP. In other words, only a problem if you regularly exceed it. There is no mention of extra charges. They reserve the right to close accounts of people who regularly exceed it.

All sounds very reasonable to me. There really isn't a catch.

This, for the first time, is broadband that would be affordable for the likes of my mum, who only occasionally uses the net. At this price, you may as well have it.
That's not the way I read it. The T&Cs mention the fair usage policy and then say that they have also imposed the 40GB cap. So they can limit your usage even if you're within the cap.

My guess is that they'll hire the minimum bandwidth they possibly can - and share it out amongs millions of people who haven't read the T&Cs.

It'd be good for the market if they can get this working with reasonable speeds for most people - but I'm not convinced
