So monsieur Kronas - people power didn't work, and caps are a fact of life really in some places. If they mean faster speeds I'm all in favour to be honest.

Also such external connectivity is usualy a matter of peering agreements rather than interconnect agreeements and thus the economies of 'getting it' are very different.
maintenance to the network,techs customer service tech support people have to be paid as well there those hidden costs higher speeds can be achieved but not without investment looking at NTL's current state your telling me they can invest in the modifications needed for the network docsis etc ?
