We've got a document from ntl with the news re this announcement, it will be going up on our news page ASAP.
[Edit]-From what I can see 2Mb customers are being upgraded to 4Mb (unlimited usage), & 4Mb customers are being upgraded to 10Mb
also with unlimited usage.
It also says the following:

o New customers will automatically receive up to 4Mb download speeds
ntl 10Mb customers can now surf and download as much as they like with total peace of mind
o 1Mb, 4Mb and 10Mb all offer unlimited access. Our Broadband services are subject to a User Policy, which includes fair usage. To review this, go to www.ntlworld.com/userpolicy
Customers do not have to do anything- automatic upgrades during June
o The customer’s bill may not be updated at the same time as their change in service. For example, 4Mb may be displayed on the bill before the 4Mb speed increase has taken place
o All speed increases and bill descriptions will be completed by the end of June. |
So they are uncapping the 4 & 10 meg services.
That just confirms to me that traffic shaping is imminent, as there is no way that ntl are suddenly going to reverse the cap they have had in place for 3 years.
