BTW Th'E check www.dslreports.com - a few US cable ISPs have introduced 'soft' caps, IE not set in stone but excess usage = warning followed by service suspension, and another has introduced a monthly limit of 30GB a month down and 7.5GB a month up.
What you consider to not be customer focussed some others might consider necessary steps towards protection of customers and network assets, agree communication could be better however the port blocking is an entirely good idea, as is a properly implemented bandwidth ceiling or other protocol based limit on use.
However uncompetitive you consider ntl to be fact is the broadband product, which you seem to be specifically referring to, is still taking on customers at a more than respectable rate. |
What about connecting to university or college for study how do you get the ports unblocked.
If you are in further education some of these ports are used if you need to connect to college.
Do we have to look for another ISP TV and phone provider
